Partly grantedPACT Act
The Board denied service connection for bilateral hearing loss and a compensable rating for Tietze's disease. The claims for low back condition, heart condition, and diabetes mellitus were remanded for further evaluation.
The deciding factor: The evidence weighed against finding that the Veteran's bilateral hearing loss and Tietze's disease were related to service, while the claims for other conditions required additional medical opinions.
