Partly granted
The veteran's effective date for service connection of chronic kidney disease and hypertension was granted as September 11, 2015. The effective date for psychiatric disability and sleep apnea was denied. The rating claim for renal cancer was remanded.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the veteran's original claim reasonably encompassed chronic kidney disease and hypertension but not psychiatric disability or sleep apnea.
