Partly granted
The Board dismissed the appeal for service connection for hypertension as there is no remaining case or controversy. The claims for service connection for allergic rhinitis and anxiety were denied, while the claims for acid reflux and bilateral hearing loss were remanded.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support a finding of current disability for allergic rhinitis and anxiety, and further examination was deemed unnecessary. For acid reflux and bilateral hearing loss, additional development is required.
