Partly granted
The Board denied an initial compensable rating for the Veteran's service-connected bilateral hearing loss and remanded the claim for service connection for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support a higher rating for hearing loss, while further development was needed to corroborate the claimed PTSD stressors.
