Denied
The Board denied service connection for diabetes mellitus type II, chronic kidney disease, and renal cysts as the evidence did not support a direct link between these conditions and the Veteran's presumed exposure to contaminated water at Camp Lejeune.
The deciding factor: The September 2023 VA examiner opined that the Veteran's diabetes mellitus type II, chronic kidney disease, and renal cysts were less likely than not caused by toxic exposures, including at Camp Lejeune, after considering all potential exposure through military deployments and synergistic effects.
