Other Board decisions on a similar condition or argued the same way.
- Granted
The Board has granted the Veteran's claim for service connection for end stage renal disease (IgA nephropathy), status post kidney transplant, finding that his exposure to contaminated water at Camp Lejeune is at least as likely as not related to his current condition.
- Dismissed
The Veteran's proposed reduction in disability rating for status post kidney transplant was dismissed as the appeal did not allege specific error of fact or law.
- Denied
The Veteran's service-connected conditions do not prevent him from securing or following a substantially gainful occupation.
- Remanded (sent back)
The Veteran's appeal has been withdrawn for the issues of a rating in excess of 30 percent for status post kidney transplant and a compensable disability rating for scars secondary to status post kidney transplant. The remaining issues on appeal are remanded for further development.
