Granted
The Board granted service connection for chronic kidney disease as secondary to the Veteran's service-connected hypertension, finding that the evidence supports a link between the two conditions.
The deciding factor: The record supports a finding that the Veteran's chronic kidney disease is at least as likely as not related to his service-connected hypertension due to uncontrolled hypertension being a complication of chronic kidney disease.
