Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for deep vein thrombosis of the right lower extremity and abdominal region and orthostatic hypotension, but denied service connection for chronic kidney disease.
The deciding factor: The evidence was in approximate balance regarding the Veteran's deep vein thrombosis, and it was determined that his orthostatic hypotension is secondary to his deep vein thrombosis. However, there was not enough evidence to support a link between the Veteran's chronic kidney disease and his service.
