Granted
The Board granted a 30 percent disability rating for diabetic nephropathy beginning February 1, 2024.
The deciding factor: The evidence supported the continuation of a 30 percent evaluation for the entire period on appeal, as private laboratory records reflected GFR values consistently within or below the 45 to 59 range and the VA examiner observed persistent edema and weakness due to renal dysfunction.
