Partly granted
The veteran's claims for service connection for bilateral hearing loss and a higher rating for generalized anxiety disorder with major depressive disorder were denied. The claim for PTSD was remanded.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the evidence did not support a current disability for hearing loss and that the symptoms of generalized anxiety disorder with major depressive disorder did not warrant a higher rating.
