Granted
The Board granted an increased disability evaluation of 100 percent for service-connected malaria, finding the evidence to be in approximate equipoise as to whether the Veteran's malaria was active during the appeal period.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the evidence being in approximate equipoise regarding the activity of the Veteran's malaria and the application of the benefit-of-the-doubt rule.
