Granted
The Board granted service connection for the Veteran's cause of death, finding that his leukemia was related to in-service exposure to jet fuels, benzene, and TCE.
The deciding factor: The evidence is in at least approximate balance as to whether the Veteran's leukemia, a contributing cause of death, was related to his in-service exposure to jet fuels and benzene. Therefore, the Board will resolve all doubts in favor of the appellant.
