Denied
The Board denied service connection for kidney stones as they were not shown during service, causally or etiologically related to service, and were not caused by or permanently worsened in severity by a service-connected disability.
The deciding factor: The VA clinician found that kidney stones were less likely than not proximately due to or the result of the Veteran's service-connected bladder cancer.
