The Veteran's chronic myelogenous leukemia is rated at 30 percent from December 9, 2018. The Board also found that the Veteran's anemia is secondary to his service-connected chronic myelogenous leukemia and granted a separate rating for it.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's chronic myelogenous leukemia has been brought to complete molecular remission due to continuous medication with tyrosine kinase inhibitors, warranting a 30 percent evaluation from December 9, 2018. The anemia is secondary to the service-connected chronic myelogenous leukemia.
