Partly granted
The veteran's claims for service connection for major depressive disorder, right knee arthritis, left knee arthritis, bilateral hearing loss, and tinnitus were granted. The claim for dental disability was denied but remanded for further consideration.
The deciding factor: The Board found sufficient evidence to establish a service connection for the granted conditions based on the Veteran's testimony, medical records, and expert opinions.
