Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for hypothyroidism, resolving reasonable doubt in the Veteran's favor. The issues of entitlement to service connection for kidney disease and left ear hearing loss were remanded.
The deciding factor: The evidence supports a grant of service connection for hypothyroidism due to exposure to contaminants at Camp Pendleton Marine Corps Base, while further evidence is needed to determine the etiology of the other conditions.
