I did not have an illness in-service so I would have to get a independent medical opinion siting research/experience that would connect my in-service event to my current disabling condition. I can suspect the fact I was exposed to hazardous chemicals (Benzene, PD-680, Agent Orange) but mere speculation will never support a claim. I'm not too upset because I am already 100% Total/Permanent due to other issues I have.
You on the other hand, you have service records that I would imagine any hematologist would concur that the issue you had in service is directly related to the issues you face today. As a matter of fact, at a minimum if they said it was just as likely as not - the veteran gets the benefit of the doubt.
