Granted
The Board granted an earlier effective date of April 5, 2011, for the grant of service connection for chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) and an initial rating of 100 percent from that date to April 26, 2013.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the effective date should be based on the Veteran's original claim submission in April 2011 rather than the PACT Act effective date due to evidence supporting direct service connection for CLL.
