Granted
The Board granted service connection for kidney cancer, secondary to the Veteran's service-connected chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), resolving reasonable doubt in favor of the Veteran.
The deciding factor: The evidence is at least evenly balanced as to whether the Veteran's kidney cancer is caused by his service-connected CLL, and reasonable doubt was resolved in favor of the Veteran.
