The Board granted service connection for an acquired psychiatric disorder, to include anxiety, depression and insomnia, as secondary to a service-connected eye disability. The claim for bilateral hearing loss was denied.
The deciding factor: The evidence supported the conclusion that the appellant's psychiatric conditions were caused by his service-connected eye disability, but there was no current hearing loss disability for VA purposes.
