Chronic fatigue syndrome Board decisions

The Board denied the Veteran's claims for service connection for osteoporosis, macular degeneration, chronic fatigue syndrome, and leg cramps, as well as a TDIU.

The veteran's claim for service connection for chronic fatigue syndrome was remanded to the RO for additional development and readjudication.

The Veteran's PTSD does not meet the criteria for a disability rating higher than 50 percent, and an earlier effective date for the award of a 50 percent evaluation is not warranted.

The Board denied the claims for service connection for a back condition, fibromyalgia, and chronic fatigue syndrome as new and material evidence was not presented to reopen the previously denied claims.

The appeal for service connection for chronic fatigue syndrome was withdrawn by the Veteran, and the claim is therefore dismissed. The Board also denied an initial rating in excess of 30 percent for PTSD.

The veteran's claims for service connection are being remanded to the RO for further development and adjudication.

The Board denied the veteran's claims for an earlier effective date for the grant of service connection for chronic fatigue with depression and dysthymia, as well as for diabetic enteropathy.

The veteran has not submitted new and material evidence to reopen her claims for service connection for a spine condition, right knee condition, chronic fatigue syndrome, skin condition, and nasal condition.

The Board granted service connection for migraine headaches, resolving reasonable doubt in the veteran's favor. However, evidence did not establish that the veteran has chronic fatigue syndrome or a related sleep disorder due to an undiagnosed illness.

The veteran's claims for service connection for fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome were denied as the competent and probative evidence did not show that these conditions are of service origin or due to undiagnosed illness.

The appeal has been remanded to schedule a video hearing for the veteran.

The Board denied the veteran's claims for service connection, higher ratings, and special monthly compensation.

The veteran's PTSD was rated at 30 percent prior to July 16, 2006, and increased to 50 percent from that date due to symptoms of depressed mood, difficulty sleeping, flashbacks, startle response, hypervigilence, and difficulty establishing effective work and social relationships.

The Board denied service connection for depression, PTSD, headaches, joint pain, and chronic fatigue syndrome as there was no competent evidence linking these conditions to the veteran's military service.

The Board has determined that the veteran's bilateral hearing loss, sexual dysfunction, and chronic fatigue are not related to his military service or secondary to his service-connected epilepsy.

The case was remanded to the Board for compliance with directives specified by the Court.

The Board denied service connection for various conditions, including a psychiatric disorder other than post-traumatic stress disorder, hypertension, congestive heart failure, kidney disease, arthritis of the hands, chronic fatigue syndrome, and back disability. The claims to reopen for arthritis of the knees and stress fractures of the legs and feet were also denied.

The veteran's irritable bowel syndrome, fibromyalgia, and chronic fatigue syndrome were not related to service, to include alleged exposure to Agent Orange, or to a service-connected disorder.

The Board denied service connection for PTSD and Persian Gulf War Syndrome, but increased the rating for dysthymic disorder to 70 percent. The veteran was also granted a 40 percent evaluation for fibromyalgia.

The veteran's appeals for service connection for various conditions were denied. The Board found no evidence of pleural thick thickening, and the preponderance of the evidence did not support service connection for memory loss or chronic fatigue.
