Partly granted
The veteran's claim for a higher rating for bilateral hearing loss was denied, but the case was remanded to obtain more information on psychiatric disorders.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the lack of evidence meeting the criteria for a compensable rating for hearing loss and the need for additional records and opinions regarding psychiatric conditions.
