Granted
The Veteran's claim for service connection for scars resulting from a right nephrectomy has been granted. The Board found that the scars are etiologically related to her service.
The deciding factor: The Board determined that the Veteran's scars were incurred during her active-duty service, specifically from a kidney stent placement and subsequent laparoscopic right nephrectomy in April 2017.
