Partly granted
The veteran's claims for an initial compensable rating for alopecia areata and service connection for bilateral hearing loss were denied. The claims for service connection for penile condition, PTSD, Raynaud's disease, and scars of the right knee and elbow were remanded.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the evidence did not support a compensable rating for alopecia areata or a current disability for bilateral hearing loss.
