Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for chronic inactive pulmonary tuberculosis and denied higher initial disability ratings for the right and left ankle sprain and bilateral hearing loss.
The deciding factor: The evidence showed a current diagnosis of inactive tuberculosis with onset during service, leading to a grant on a direct basis. The ankle and hearing loss issues were denied due to insufficient evidence of marked limitation of motion or other criteria necessary for higher ratings.
