Partly granted
The Board denied an initial compensable rating for a left ear hearing loss disability and remanded the claim for service connection for irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).
The deciding factor: The evidence of record during the relevant period weighed against a finding that the Veteran's left ear hearing was worse than Level I, and there is no indication of a nexus to service for the IBS.
