Partly granted
The Board denied increased ratings for larynx cancer, PTSD, bilateral hearing loss, and tinnitus. A 10 percent rating was granted for hypertension, but the claims for colon cancer with residuals and obstructive sleep apnea were remanded.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support a higher rating for the service-connected conditions due to their severity or impact on daily functioning.
