Partly granted
The Board denied service connection for bilateral hearing loss, a gastrointestinal disability (originally claimed as GERD), and vertigo. However, it granted service connection for a right foot disability, diagnosed as right foot pain with bunionectomy and first metatarsal fusion, and left ear otitis media.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the evidence supported a finding of a current disability and an in-service injury or disease related to the Veteran's right foot and left ear. However, it did not support such findings for the other conditions.
