Granted
The Board granted service connection for chronic lymphocytic leukemia based on the Veteran's conceded exposures during his service in the Southwest Asia theater of operations.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on a medical opinion from the Veteran's private physician that associated the condition to the Veteran's conceded in-service exposures, and there is no competent evidence contradicting this determination.
