Denied
The Board denied service connection for chronic kidney disease, stating it is not linked to the veteran's service or exposure to contaminated water at Camp Lejeune.
The deciding factor: Two VA examiners opined that the veteran's chronic kidney disease was less likely than not etiologically linked to his active-duty service and exposure to contaminated water at Camp Lejeune.
