Partly granted
The Veteran was granted a 100 percent rating for acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) from January 22, 2016, to October 31, 2017, and a noncompensable rating from November 1, 2017. The Veteran's earlier effective dates for the grants of service connection for hemorrhoids, anal fissures, pruritus ani, skin disability, and eye disability were also granted.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's AML was active or receiving treatment during the specified period, warranting a 100 percent rating. The evidence supported earlier effective dates for the grants of service connection for various disabilities stemming from the original award of service connection for AML.
