Partly granted
The Veteran's claim for service connection for PTSD was denied. The claims for bilateral hearing loss, right knee disability, left knee disability, and heart condition were remanded.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the evidence persuasively weighs against a finding of a nexus between the Veteran's current PTSD and his in-service stressors.
