Denied
The Board denied a rating in excess of 60 percent for chronic kidney disease as the Veteran's GFR readings did not meet the criteria for a higher rating.
The deciding factor: The March 2023 VA examination found no renal dysfunction and an eGFR reading of 40, which does not warrant a rating in excess of 60 percent under DC 5131.
