Denied
The Board denied service connection for bilateral hearing loss, pseudofolliculitis barbae (PFB), and seborrheic dermatitis, as the evidence did not support a current disability or a link to service. The claim for an acquired psychiatric disorder was remanded.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's claims were denied due to insufficient evidence of a current disability and no credible connection to his military service.
