The Veteran's claim for residuals of inverted papilloma was granted due to service connection based on exposure to contaminated water at Camp Lejeune. The claim for renal tuberculosis was denied as there is no evidence linking the condition to his service.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the Veteran's urinary symptoms are more likely related to his history of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) rather than his service-connected renal tuberculosis.

What you can do next
Related decisions
Other Board decisions on a similar condition or argued the same way.
- Granted
The Board has determined that the Veteran's residuals of inverted papilloma is related to his active duty service, and thus grants the claim for service connection.
- Partly granted
The Board denied service connection for renal tuberculosis, miliary tuberculosis, and tuberculosis meningitis in May 1983. The Veteran submitted new evidence since then that relates to an unestablished fact (his symptoms during and after service) but does not raise a reasonable possibility of substantiating the claim.
- Denied
The Board has determined that the veteran's renal tuberculosis is inactive and asymptomatic, and therefore does not meet the criteria for a compensable disability rating.
- Denied
The Board finds that the veteran's death was not caused by a service-connected disability, and therefore DIC benefits under 38 U.S.C.A. § 1318 are denied.
