Partly granted
The veteran's claim for service connection for athlete's foot was granted, but the claim for a compensable evaluation for bilateral hearing loss from October 2, 2022 was denied.
The deciding factor: The Board found sufficient credible evidence establishing a causal relationship between an in-service event and the Veteran's athlete's foot, but the Veteran's speech discrimination test results and hearing thresholds did not meet the criteria for a compensable rating under Diagnostic Code (DC) 6100.
