Denied
The Board denied service connection for chronic myeloid leukemia as the evidence of record does not support a finding that it is etiologically related to the Veteran's military service.
The deciding factor: The July 2024 VA examiner opined that the Veteran's CML was less likely than not caused by toxic exposure risk activities during his service, and there is no other evidence linking the condition to service.
