Granted
The Board granted service connection for chronic kidney disease, resolving reasonable doubt in the Veteran's favor and considering evidence of exposure to contaminated Camp Lejeune waters.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the presumption of service connection for certain diseases related to exposure at Camp Lejeune, despite the negative opinion from the VA examiner, due to additional evidence supporting a possible causal link between the exposure and chronic kidney disease.
