Denied
The Board found that the grant of service connection for chronic kidney disease was based on a clear and unmistakable error, as the January 2024 VA medical opinion was based on an inaccurate factual premise. The severance of service connection for CKD, effective February 1, 2025, was proper.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the January 2024 VA medical opinion was based on an erroneous factual finding and manifestly changed the outcome of the prior decision.
