I'll start with the facts I am an E-6 with 10 years in the Army and I was diagnosed a month ago with a heridlitary kidney disease. My question is that will this be considered a service-connected disability or not. Now I knew my brother had this because it happened to him prior to my joining the Army, I have never been hospitalized in my life until now and noone thought I had gotten the disease. I noted this when I joined that I had one brother diagnosed with this but they told me I was good.
