The Board granted service connection for Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) and anemia, both of which are secondary to the Veteran's service-connected non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.
The deciding factor: The evidence demonstrated that the Veteran's AML and anemia were proximately due to his service-connected non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.
