Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for left and right leg shin splints, but denied service connection for bilateral hearing loss. The right foot great toe strain issue was remanded.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the evidence of record, including medical opinions and service treatment records, with reasonable doubt resolved in favor of the Veteran for the shin splint claims.
