Denied
The Board denied the claims for a separate compensable rating for service-connected CKD as a complication of diabetes mellitus, an initial rating in excess of 30 percent for CKD, and TDIU prior to December 11, 2012.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not show that the Veteran's CKD met the criteria for higher ratings or that his service-connected disabilities precluded him from securing or following substantially gainful employment.
