The Board granted service connection for stage B3 kidney disease as secondary to the Veteran's service-connected plasmacytoma with multiple myeloma.
The deciding factor: The August 2024 VA examiner provided a positive nexus opinion, stating that the Veteran's stage B3 kidney disease is at least as likely as not proximately due to or aggravated by his service-connected condition. The Board found this opinion more probative than the negative opinions and granted service connection.
