Granted
The Board granted service connection for chronic renal disease, finding a balance of favorable and unfavorable evidence supports the claim.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the Veteran's exposure to burn pit toxins during his Southwest Asia deployment and the lack of clear alternative causes for his kidney disease as noted by medical providers.
