Denied
The Board denied service connection for acute myeloid leukemia (AML) because it was not due to the Veteran's presumed in-service exposure to herbicide agents.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the evidence demonstrates persuasively that the Veteran's AML is not due to his presumed in-service herbicide agent exposure.
