Partly granted
The Board denied service connection for high cholesterol and remanded the claims for prostate cancer, arthritis, diabetes type II, end stage renal disease on dialysis, nerve pain (including diabetic neuropathy), and kidney cancer for further development.
The deciding factor: The claim for service connection for high cholesterol was denied as it is not a disability for VA purposes. The other claims were remanded due to the need for medical examinations and opinions to determine their etiology in relation to the Veteran's military service or any service-connected disabilities.
