Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for hypertension and a left shoulder disability, but denied service connection for hearing loss.
The deciding factor: The evidence supports the finding that the Veteran's hypertension was diagnosed within one year of separation from active duty, and his left shoulder disability manifested in service and has continued since discharge. However, there is no current hearing loss for VA compensation purposes.
