Granted
The Board granted an initial rating of 60 percent, but no higher, for the Veteran's service-connected chronic kidney disease associated with herbicide exposure.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's GFR consistently ranged from 30 to 44 mL/min/1.73 m2 for much of the appeal period, which warranted a 60 percent rating under DC 7536.
