Partly granted
The veteran's claim for a higher rating for bilateral hearing loss was denied, but the claims for service connection for a back disability and TDIU were remanded for further action.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the evidence available at the time of the February 2023 rating decision and the specific regulations governing VA disability ratings.
