The Board denied service connection for a kidney disorder, other than status post nephroureterectomy for urothelial carcinoma, and remanded the claim for a prostate disorder to correct a pre-decisional duty to assist error.
The deciding factor: The evidence was not sufficient to establish that the Veteran had a current diagnosis of a kidney disorder other than his status post nephroureterectomy for urothelial carcinoma. For the prostate disorder, there is conflicting evidence regarding whether the Veteran has a diagnosis of prostate cancer and an adequate nexus opinion is required.
