Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for an acquired psychiatric disorder and denied service connection for bilateral hearing loss. The claims for service connection for migraines and scars of the extremities/trunk were remanded.
The deciding factor: The evidence was at least in equipoise as to whether the Veteran's acquired psychiatric disorder is related to his service, but there was no evidence of a current disability for bilateral hearing loss.
