Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for a left breast mass condition and denied increased ratings for a trunk scar above the right breast and bilateral hearing loss. Several claims were remanded.
The deciding factor: Service connection was granted based on evidence showing the Veteran's left breast cyst had its onset in service, while the other claims were denied due to insufficient evidence of disability impacting daily life or employment.
