Partly granted
The veteran's claims for service connection for bilateral hearing loss and sleep apnea were denied. The claims for upper back condition, low back condition, left hand condition, and right knee condition were remanded for further examination.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the evidence did not support a current disability for bilateral hearing loss or sleep apnea, and no examinations had been conducted for the other conditions.
