The veteran's claim for service connection for a right shoulder disability, left shoulder disability, hypercholesterolemia / hyperlipidemia, hypertension, and right ear hearing loss was denied. The veteran's claim for other specified trauma and stressor related disorder was granted. Claims for sleep apnea, chronic fatigue syndrome, auditory processing disorder (APD), and erectile dysfunction were remanded.

The deciding factor: The Board found that the evidence of record persuasively weighs against finding that the Veteran has a right shoulder disability, left shoulder disability, hypercholesterolemia / hyperlipidemia, hypertension, or right ear hearing loss that began during active service or otherwise was caused by service.
