Partly granted
The veteran's claim for service connection for hypertension and a higher rating for bilateral hearing loss was denied. The claims for service connection for bradycardia with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation and Parkinson's disease were remanded.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the lack of a current diagnosis for hypertension, normal blood pressure readings, and the absence of evidence supporting a higher rating for hearing loss.
