Granted
The Board granted service connection for malaise, variously diagnosed as fatigue, finding it to be caused by the Veteran's service-connected acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) with bone marrow transplant and residuals of graft versus host disease (GVHD).
The deciding factor: The July 2024 VA examiner opined that the Veteran's fatigue is related to his GVHD.
