Denied
The Board denied a compensable disability rating for bilateral hearing loss and remanded the issues of service connection for high blood pressure and Parkinson's disease.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support a finding that the Veteran's hearing loss warranted a compensable disability rating, while the RO had conceded the diagnosis of both conditions but failed to provide VA examinations as required by law.
