Partly granted
The veteran's claim for service connection for an acquired psychiatric disorder was dismissed. Service connection for bilateral hearing loss was granted. Claims for right knee, low back, neck, left arm, and right arm disabilities were remanded.
The deciding factor: The decision on the psychiatric disorder was based on a previous appeal; bilateral hearing loss was granted due to evidence of in-service noise exposure and continuity of symptomatology; other claims were remanded due to inadequate nexus opinions.
