Partly granted
The Board granted an initial 60 percent disability rating for the Veteran's service-connected left kidney removal, but remanded claims for service connection for diabetes mellitus and a compensable rating for left kidney cancer.
The deciding factor: The GFR readings primarily fell within the range of 30 to 44 mL/min/1.73m2, meeting the criteria for a 60 percent rating under Diagnostic Code 7500.
