Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for right and left knee disabilities but denied service connection for bilateral hearing loss. The Board also remanded the increased rating claim for lumbar spine disability.
The deciding factor: The evidence supported a finding of in-service onset and continuity of symptoms for the knee disabilities, while there was no current diagnosis of hearing loss that met VA criteria.
