Partly granted
The Veteran's claims for service connection for diabetes mellitus/elevated A1C and bilateral hearing loss were denied. The claims for melanoma, lumbar spine disorder, right knee disorder, and right shoulder disorder were remanded.
The deciding factor: The denial was based on the absence of a current disability and lack of competent medical evidence.
