Partly granted
The Board denied service connection for bilateral hearing loss, tinnitus, and colon polyps but granted service connection for a low back disability. The claim for hemorrhoids was remanded.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the lack of evidence showing current disabilities in the areas claimed or a link to military service, except for the low back disability where reasonable doubt was resolved in favor of the Veteran.
