Denied
The Board denied service connection for frontotemporal lobe dementia and chronic kidney disease, finding no evidence of a nexus between the claimed in-service exposure to contaminated water at Camp Lejeune and the current disabilities.
The deciding factor: VA opinions concluded that there was no causal relationship between the Veteran's conditions and his active-duty service, including presumed toxic exposure at Camp Lejeune.
