Partly granted
The Board denied service connection for a liver disorder and kidney disorder, while remanding claims for service connection for cardiomyopathy, right lower extremity disorder, left lower extremity disorder, hypertension, systemic lupus erythematosus, diverticulosis in the sigmoid colon, and left nose scar status post basal cell carcinoma removal.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not demonstrate that the Veteran had a current disability for liver or kidney disorders during service. The claims for other conditions were remanded to further develop the record regarding potential toxic exposures during service.
