The Board granted an initial disability rating of 60 percent for chronic kidney disease stage 3 based on the Veteran's GFR results between 30 and 44 mL/min/1.73 m2.
The deciding factor: The evidence showed that the Veteran's GFR was consistently between 30 and 44 mL/min/1.73 m2 for at least three consecutive months during the past year, which met the criteria for a 60 percent rating.
