Partly granted
The veteran's claim for service connection for fatty liver disease was denied. The claims for right ear hearing loss and initial compensable rating for left ear hearing loss were dismissed. The claim for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) was remanded for further examination.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the evidence did not support a nexus between the veteran's fatty liver disease and military service, and the claims for right ear hearing loss and initial compensable rating for left ear hearing loss were dismissed due to concurrent election of review options.
