Denied
The Board denied the veteran's claims for service connection for bilateral hearing loss and a psychiatric disorder, to include PTSD. The claim for Graves' disease was remanded.
The deciding factor: The evidence of record did not support a finding that the Veteran had a current diagnosis of either condition or that there was a nexus between his in-service experiences and any current disability.
