Partly granted
The veteran's claims for service connection for bilateral knee condition, erectile dysfunction, and Pact Act were dismissed. The claim for an increased rating for PTSD prior to January 5, 2023 was denied. The claim for a compensable rating for left ear hearing loss was also denied.
The deciding factor: The veteran's Notice of Disagreement (NOD) was untimely and did not comply with claims processing rules, leading to the dismissal of some issues; other issues were denied based on the evidence of record.
