Partly granted
The Board granted a 10 percent initial rating for kidney stones and denied service connection for chronic kidney disease.
The deciding factor: While the evidence supported an occasional attack of colic, it did not meet the criteria for a higher rating. Service connection was denied due to no credible evidence linking the disability to service.
