Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for a kidney disorder, resolving reasonable doubt in the Veteran's favor. The claim for an eye disorder was remanded for further development.
The deciding factor: The evidence is in approximate balance as to whether the Veteran's kidney disorder was caused by his service-connected hypertension, and there are no well-reasoned opinions regarding the eye disorder.
