Granted
The veteran's disability rating for bilateral hearing loss has been restored to 30 percent effective August 1, 2024. The Board found that the evidence did not show an improvement in the veteran's ability to function under ordinary conditions of life and work.
The deciding factor: The Board agreed with the veteran that the reduction in his disability rating for hearing loss was improper because there was no evidence of actual improvement in his ability to function under ordinary conditions of life and work.
