Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for bilateral hearing loss disability but denied a rating in excess of 70 percent for posttraumatic stress disorder with unspecified depressive disorder and dismissed the claim for obstructive sleep apnea.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the evidence supporting the Veteran's claim for bilateral hearing loss, while the other claims did not meet the criteria for increased rating or service connection.
