Denied
The Board denied the veteran's claims for increased ratings and service connection, except for remanding certain service connection claims.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support a higher rating for PTSD or a compensable evaluation for left ear hearing loss, and there was no evidence of right ear hearing loss. The service connection claims were either denied outright or remanded for further development.
