Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for irritable bowel syndrome, chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, left hand neurological condition, and right hand neurological condition. The claim for bilateral hearing loss was denied.
The deciding factor: The evidence supports a direct link between the Veteran's claimed conditions and their military service, except for bilateral hearing loss which did not meet the criteria for a VA compensable disability.
