Remanded (sent back)
The Board denied the claim for service connection for bilateral hearing loss and an earlier effective date prior to May 30, 2014, for the grant of TDIU. The issues related to PTSD ratings were remanded for further development.
The deciding factor: The evidence submitted was not new and relevant to support a decision on the claim for service connection for bilateral hearing loss, and the Veteran did not meet the schedular requirements for a TDIU prior to May 30, 2014.
