Partly granted
The veteran's claim for tinnitus was dismissed due to a procedural error. The claim for bilateral hearing loss was denied because the evidence did not show a current disability. Claims for insomnia and obstructive sleep apnea were remanded for further examination.
The deciding factor: The decision on tinnitus was based on the untimely filing of VA Form 10182, while the denial for bilateral hearing loss was due to lack of evidence showing a current disability.
