Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for service connection for kidney disease, to include recurrent kidney stones, due to a duty to assist error and to obtain new medical opinions regarding direct and secondary service connection.
The deciding factor: Remand is necessary to address whether the Veteran's current kidney condition had its onset during service or is related to his service-connected knee condition, as well as any aggravation by those conditions.
