Denied
The Board denied the veteran's claims for increased ratings for his skin disability and bilateral hearing loss, and dismissed his claim for service connection for an acquired psychiatric disorder.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support a higher rating for the skin disability or a compensable rating for the hearing loss. The claim for service connection for an acquired psychiatric disorder was dismissed due to lack of subject matter jurisdiction.
