Partly granted
The Board denied a compensable rating for bilateral hearing loss and remanded the claims for service connection for various disabilities, including left knee, right knee, left wrist, right wrist, back, OSA, anxiety disorder, eating/feeding disorder, radicular pain in the right lower extremity, and tinnitus.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the evidence did not support a compensable rating for hearing loss and remanded the claims for further development to ensure compliance with VA's duty to assist by obtaining an adequate medical opinion regarding the etiology of the claimed disabilities.
