Denied
The Board denied service connection for PTSD, right ear hearing loss, and left ear hearing loss due to a lack of evidence supporting the claims. The claim for service connection for fungus of the feet was remanded for further development.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the absence of credible evidence supporting the in-service stressor for PTSD and the lack of current hearing loss disability as defined by VA standards, and the Veteran's failure to report for scheduled examinations without good cause.
