Granted
The Board granted service connection for the cause of the Veteran's death, finding that his service-connected chronic lymphocytic leukemia was a contributory cause.
The deciding factor: The evidence is at least approximately balanced on the question of whether the Veteran's service-connected leukemia contributed to his death, and reasonable doubt was resolved in favor of the claim.
