Granted
The Board granted service connection for major neurocognitive disease, as secondary to the Veteran's service-connected bilateral hearing loss.
The deciding factor: The VA examiner opined that the Veteran's dementia was at least as likely as not due to his service-connected bilateral hearing loss, and this opinion was found to have higher probative value than the other examination report.
