Granted
The Board granted service connection for dementia, finding that it was aggravated by the Veteran's service-connected hearing loss disability.
The deciding factor: The evidence showed a clear link between the Veteran's hearing loss and his worsening cognitive function, leading to an increased likelihood of service connection being warranted.
