Partly granted
The appeal regarding the proposed reduction in the rating for prostate cancer was dismissed because it was not a final action. The claim for service connection for bilateral hearing loss was denied due to lack of evidence linking it to military service.
The deciding factor: The proposed rating reduction was not a final action and thus not appealable; the evidence did not support a link between the veteran's hearing loss and military service.
