Denied
The Board denied service connection for a psychiatric disorder and bilateral hearing loss disability, as well as referral to the Director of Compensation Service for extraschedular consideration of a total disability rating for compensation based on individual unemployability due to service-connected disabilities.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support a finding that the Veteran's current conditions were related to his military service, and there was no credible evidence of in-service onset or aggravation of these conditions.
