Granted
The Board granted service connection for chronic lymphocytic leukemia, finding that the Veteran's condition is related to his active military service at Fort Ritchie where Agent Orange was stored.
The deciding factor: The December 2021 private opinion from Dr. M.P., a private oncologist, attributed the Veteran's lymphocytic leukemia to exposure during his service at Fort Richie, which stored Agent Orange.
