Granted
The Board granted service connection for chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) based on the evidence supporting a direct link to the Veteran's military service.
The deciding factor: The private opinion of P.W. was found more persuasive than the VA examiner's negative nexus opinion, as it considered the Veteran's actual exposure to TCE during service and cited relevant medical literature.
