The veteran's claim for service connection for Hepatitis C is being remanded due to the need for additional development, including obtaining medical records and conducting a VA examination.
The appeal has been dismissed as the appellant withdrew their appeal before a decision was made.
The Board denied the appellant's claims for service connection for various conditions, including bilateral hearing loss disability, tinnitus, neuroma of the left foot, multiple lipomas, and hepatitis-C. The appeal was also denied regarding a claim to reopen a previously denied skin disorder secondary to parasite exposure and the March 20, 1996 rating decision on individual unemployability.
The veteran's claims for service connection were denied, with the exception of a finding that his Persian Gulf service may have contributed to some of his undiagnosed illness symptoms. The specific conditions and issues are not granted.

The veteran's service-connected disabilities, including post-traumatic organic brain syndrome and foot drop in the left lower extremity, have resulted in a loss of use of one lower extremity with associated residuals.
