Partly granted
The Board denied increased ratings for Parkinson's disease and related residuals, as well as hearing loss. However, it remanded the claims for service connection of gall bladder disorder, headache disorder, and breathing disorder.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the Veteran's symptoms did not warrant higher ratings based on the evidence provided.
