Partly granted
The VA denied service connection for bilateral hearing loss but remanded decisions on sleep apnea, toes, right middle fingers, right shoulder condition, anxiety, headache, foot pain, and low back pain.
The deciding factor: The denial of service connection for bilateral hearing loss was based on the lack of evidence showing a current disability as defined by VA regulations.
