Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for bilateral pinguecula and denied the claims for service connection for a dental condition, bilateral hearing loss, tinnitus, higher ratings for left knee disability and scar, and compensable ratings for left hip conditions.
The deciding factor: The evidence supported the finding of a current eye condition related to in-service events, but did not support the other claims due to lack of evidence or clear etiology.
