Partly granted
The veteran's claim for service connection for coronary artery disease (CAD) caused by service-connected hypertension was granted. However, the claim for bilateral hearing loss was denied.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the evidence showing that the Veteran's CAD is at least in part caused by his now service-connected hypertension, while there was insufficient evidence to link the hearing loss to service.
