Denied
The Board denied service connection for chronic kidney disease, claimed as due to contaminated water at Camp Lejeune, based on the lack of evidence linking the condition to service exposure.
The deciding factor: The December 2023 VA examination and August 2024 addendum opinion concluded that there was no nexus between the Veteran's chronic kidney disease and his presumed exposure to contaminated water at Camp Lejeune.
