Denied
The Board denied the veteran's claim for service connection for chronic kidney disease as there is no evidence that it manifested in service or within one year thereafter, and it is not otherwise related to service.
The deciding factor: The evidence does not show an in-service event, injury, or disease to which a current disorder could be related, and the Veteran's lay statements are not credible to establish exposure to contaminated water at Camp Lejeune.
