Denied
The Board denied the veteran's claims for increased ratings, eligibility for specially adaptive housing and a special home adaptation grant, and remanded several service connection claims.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support an increase in the rating for tinnitus or bilateral hearing loss beyond the currently assigned levels. The Veteran's symptoms were found to be adequately addressed by the existing disability ratings.
