The Board granted a readjudication of the service connection claim for an acquired psychiatric disorder, denied service connection for a skin disorder and a rating in excess of 10 percent for bilateral hearing loss, and remanded claims for service connection for TBI.
The deciding factor: The evidence submitted since the last decision was new and relevant to the issue of entitlement to service connection for an acquired psychiatric disorder, but there is no evidence supporting a skin disorder or higher rating for hearing loss. The Veteran's reported in-service exposure events were considered insufficient to establish service connection for TBI.
