Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claim for an initial compensable disability rating for chronic lymphocytic leukemia, as the evidence did not show that his condition warranted a higher rating.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's chronic lymphocytic leukemia was asymptomatic and at Rai Stage 0, requiring only watchful waiting, which did not meet the criteria for a compensable rating under Diagnostic Code 7703.
