Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for chronic kidney stones and remanded claims for diabetes mellitus, hypertension, left knee condition, right knee condition, sinusitis, bronchitis, and emphysema.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the Veteran's credible lay statements regarding his chronic kidney stones and the lack of evidence linking other conditions to service or in-service exposures.
