The Veteran's claim for service connection for a left kidney disorder was denied in June 1964 due to the absence of albuminuria at separation. The Board found that the correct facts were before the adjudicator and that there was no CUE, thus denying the earlier effective date request.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the fact that albuminuria was not shown at separation, which is consistent with the evidence available at the time of the June 1964 rating decision.
