Partly granted
The Board granted readjudication for several conditions but ultimately denied service connection for chronic kidney disease, edema, and enlarged prostate. The claims for CTS of both upper extremities and residuals of trauma of the right eye were remanded.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the absence of competent evidence establishing a nexus between the veteran's service and the claimed disabilities.
