Partly granted
The Board denied service connection for bilateral hearing loss and remanded claims for a psychiatric disability, back disability, right knee disability, and left knee disability.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support the claim of service connection for bilateral hearing loss. A VA examination was necessary to determine the etiology of the other claimed disabilities.
