Denied
The Board denied service connection for an acquired psychiatric disorder and hearing loss, as there was no current diagnosis of these conditions. The claims for service connection for various other conditions were remanded.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not show a current diagnosis of the claimed conditions or that they were incurred in or aggravated by active service.
