Chronic fatigue syndrome Board decisions

The Veteran's heart disability resulted in dyspnea and fatigue, warranting a 100 percent rating. The issues of service connection for arteriosclerotic heart disease with valvular heart disease and atrial fibrillation, chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) are remanded.

The Board has dismissed the appeals for service connection for chronic fatigue syndrome and entitlement to a TDIU as they have been granted in previous decisions.

The Board has remanded the Veteran's claims for service connection for headaches, chronic fatigue syndrome, chronic upper respiratory, a left foot disorder, a left-hand disorder, painful scar, and right wrist disorder due to procedural issues.

The Board has dismissed all service connection claims and effective date claims due to the Veteran's death.

The Veteran's claims for service connection for chronic fatigue syndrome, obstructive sleep apnea, and painful joints are being remanded due to the need for additional medical opinions.

The Board has denied the Veteran's claims for service connection for chronic fatigue, myalgia, and chest muscle spasms as they are not considered separate disabilities but rather symptoms of his already service-connected sleep apnea.

The Veteran's claim of service connection for headaches as secondary to his PTSD is granted. His PTSD is also rated at 70 percent, which is the maximum rating available under current VA regulations.

The Board has denied service connection for chronic neurologic disorder, CFS, muscle pain in hands and feet, liver lesions, unexplained weight loss, and Meniere's syndrome as the evidence does not support a current diagnosis of these conditions. The Veteran's claim for secondary service connection for Meniere's syndrome is granted.

The Board has remanded the claim for service connection for chronic fatigue syndrome due to conflicting diagnoses and lack of current evidence.

The Board has decided to remand the case due to an inadequate examination in its decision and the submission of a nexus statement linking CFS to PTSD. The Veteran is advised that even if he had a diagnosis during service, it must be present at the time his claim was filed for service connection.

The Board has remanded the cases for further development and clarification of medical opinions regarding service connection for chronic fatigue, sleep apnea, genitourinary disorder, and congenital batwing deformity with pseudoarthrosis.

The Board denied service connection for neck disability, chronic fatigue syndrome, and fibromyalgia as these conditions were not incurred or aggravated by active duty service.

The Veteran requested to withdraw his appeals regarding the service connection for chronic fatigue syndrome, a rating in excess of 10 percent for GERD, and a rating in excess of 50 percent for acquired psychiatric disability. The Board has dismissed these claims.

The Board has granted service connection for sleep apnea. Service connection for chronic fatigue syndrome and undiagnosed illness or MUCMI is remanded due to insufficient evidence.

The Veteran's claim for service connection for Chronic Fatigue Syndrome due to radiation exposure or environmental toxins is remanded as additional development and a medical nexus opinion are required.

The Board has determined that the Veteran's sleep apnea is proximately due to or aggravated by his service-connected PTSD and chronic fatigue syndrome, thus granting service connection for sleep apnea.

The Veteran's claims for service connection are remanded due to the need for additional medical opinions regarding her chronic fatigue syndrome, low back disability, left lower extremity neuritis, and right lower extremity neuritis. The VA must obtain an opinion on whether these conditions are related to active service or a presumptive exposure basis.

The Board has remanded the claims for service connection for chronic fatigue, gastrointestinal condition, and migraines due to inadequate opinions regarding whether these conditions are related to service. The Veteran's symptoms include difficulty sleeping, cognitive impairment, daytime fatigue, and sleep impairment.
