Granted
The Board granted service connection for chronic kidney disease (CKD) as secondary to the Veteran's use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) for his service-connected disabilities.
The deciding factor: The probative evidence established that the Veteran's diagnosed CKD is secondary to his use of NSAIDs for the treatment of his service-connected disabilities, and the Board resolved all doubt in favor of the Veteran.
