Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for an acquired psychiatric disorder and bilateral hearing loss, but remanded claims for a right knee disorder, headaches, respiratory disorder, and dry eye syndrome.
The deciding factor: Service connection was granted based on the evidence of record supporting current disabilities and in-service incurrence or aggravation. The remaining claims were remanded due to duty-to-assist errors.
