Denied
The Board denied service connection for mycobacterium tuberculosis, latent pulmonary tuberculosis infection, insomnia, and a compensable initial rating for bilateral hearing loss.
The deciding factor: There was no evidence of current disabilities to support the claims, and the Veteran's symptoms were subsumed within his existing psychiatric disability.
