GrantedPACT Act
The Board granted service connection for chronic myelogenous leukemia, finding that the condition is etiologically related to toxic exposures during active-duty service.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on a private medical opinion from Dr. M.K., which linked the Veteran's in-service toxic exposures to the development of CML, and the Board's finding that the evidence is in approximate balance as to whether the condition is related to service.
