Partly grantedPACT Act
The Veteran's claims for bilateral hearing loss and lower back condition were denied. The claims for psychiatric disorder, MVT, rhinitis, and sleep apnea were remanded.
The deciding factor: The denial of the hearing loss claim was due to the Veteran's failure to report for a scheduled examination; the lower back condition claim was denied because there was no evidence linking it to service.
