Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for a back disability and denied service connection for hearing loss. The claim for a kidney disability was remanded for further development.
The deciding factor: Service connection for the back disability was granted based on evidence of an in-service injury and continuity of symptomatology, while the denial of hearing loss was due to insufficient evidence of a current disability as defined by VA regulations.
