Partly grantedPACT Act
The Board granted service connection for bilateral hearing loss and a skin disorder characterized as skin lesions and basal cell carcinoma, but dismissed the appeal regarding thyroid cancer.
The deciding factor: The evidence was at least in approximate balance to support the theories of direct service connection for both hearing loss and the skin condition, while the Veteran withdrew his appeal for thyroid cancer.
