Denied
The Board denied service connection for alcohol use disorder with unspecified depressive disorder and dismissed the appeal for hearing loss due to untimely filing.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support a nexus between the Veteran's current conditions and his military service, particularly given his history of alcohol abuse.
