Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for chronic kidney disease as secondary to the Veteran's service-connected kidney stones, but remanded the claim for service connection for kidney cancer due to a duty to assist error.
The deciding factor: Service connection for chronic kidney disease was granted based on medical evidence linking it to the Veteran's service-connected kidney stones. The claim for kidney cancer was remanded due to an unaddressed duty to assist error.
