Kidney disease Board decisions

The veteran's claims for service connection for hearing loss and kidney disorder were denied as there was no evidence of a chronic condition in service or manifesting within one year after service, and the Board found that any preexisting conditions did not worsen during service.

The Board denied service connection for a cyst on the right kidney with hematuria, finding no new and material evidence since the previous denial in November 1994.

The Board denied the veteran's claims for higher ratings for his service-connected left and right knee disabilities, as well as his residual stab wound scar in the area of the left kidney and lumbosacral strain. The RO subsequently granted these claims with no percent ratings effective from June 1996.

The Board found that the veteran's claimed eye, kidney, stomach, and deformities of fingers/toes disorders were not incurred or aggravated during active service, nor are any of these conditions proximately due to or the result of a service-connected disability.

The Board denied the veteran's claim for service connection for the cause of his death due to metastatic renal cell cancer, finding that it was not caused by any disease or injury incurred in or aggravated during his period of active service. The Board also noted that there was no evidence of herbicide exposure and that the veteran did not serve in the Republic of Vietnam.

The Board denied service connection for kidney stones, headaches, a deviated nasal septum, residuals of a fracture of the 1st metatarsal of the right foot, and residuals of right eye trauma. The veteran's conditions are considered to be directly related to his active service.
