Partly granted
The Board denied service connection for right ankle disability and a compensable rating for left ear hearing loss, but remanded the claim for an acquired psychiatric disorder to reschedule a VA examination.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support a current diagnosis of right ankle condition or functional impairment related to hearing loss. Good cause was found to remand the PTSD claim due to the Veteran's good faith attempt to attend a scheduled examination that was not properly rescheduled by VA.
