Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for carpal tunnel syndrome and left shoulder condition, but denied a compensable rating for bilateral hearing loss.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the mechanical application of Tables VI and VII in determining the disability ratings, with no subjective interpretation involved. The Veteran's testimony established the existence of functional impairments that qualify as disabilities under VA standards.
