Partly granted
The veteran's claim for a higher rating for diabetes mellitus type II was dismissed because the veteran withdrew the appeal. The claims for hypertension and bilateral hearing loss were denied as the criteria for a compensable disability rating were not met.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the evidence of record, including medical examinations and the veteran's statements during the hearing.
