Denied
The Board denied service connection for kidney disease and fatty liver, as well as dismissed the appeals for left shoulder condition, hypertension, PTSD, DM II, residuals of lactic acidosis, and underactive thyroid due to untimely Notices of Disagreement.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not establish a nexus between the Veteran's claimed conditions and his service, including exposure to contaminated water at Camp Lejeune.
