Granted
The Board granted service connection for chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) based on the evidence supporting a link to in-service asbestos exposure.
The deciding factor: The Board resolved reasonable doubt in favor of the Veteran, finding that the positive medical opinions outweighed the negative ones and satisfied the elements of direct service connection.
