Partly granted
The Board denied a compensable rating for the Veteran's service-connected bilateral hearing loss and dismissed an appeal seeking a disability rating in excess of 10 percent for his TBI residuals. The claims for service connection for left knee, right knee, acquired psychiatric, and neck disabilities were also denied.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support a finding that the Veteran's current knee, psychiatric, or neck conditions were related to his active duty service or secondary to any of his service-connected conditions.
