Partly granted
The Veteran's earlier effective date for service connection for kidney transplant, nephrosclerosis with end stage renal disease associated with hypertension was granted as of December 11, 2000. The initial disability rating for hypertension and the grant of service connection for bone density weakness with chronic pain as secondary to hypertension were also decided in favor of the Veteran.
The deciding factor: The evidence submitted during the relevant appeal periods indicated a long-standing relationship between the Veteran's hypertension and his kidney disease, supporting the decision to grant service connection and an earlier effective date.
