Granted
The Board grants the Veteran's claim for permanent and total status for chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), currently rated as 100 percent disabling, based on evidence showing that the condition is reasonably certain to continue at its current level of impairment throughout his life.
The deciding factor: The treating physician stated that the Veteran's CLL is an incurable disease and will require monitoring and/or treatment throughout the rest of his life, which supports a finding that it is permanent and total in nature.
