Denied
The Board denied service connection for right lower extremity radiculopathy, right upper extremity radiculopathy, chronic sinusitis, and bilateral hearing loss. The initial disability ratings for PTSD, cervical spine disability, and left upper extremity radiculopathy were also denied. Several issues related to service connection were remanded.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not persuasively show the presence of current disabilities in the right lower and upper extremities, chronic sinusitis, or bilateral hearing loss, nor was there sufficient evidence to support a higher disability rating for PTSD, cervical spine disability, or left upper extremity radiculopathy.
