Chronic fatigue syndrome Board decisions

The veteran's appeal has been withdrawn prior to the Board making a decision.

The VA has denied the veteran's claim of entitlement to service connection for chronic fatigue syndrome, finding no current evidence of the condition.

The Board denied service connection for various conditions, including skin rash, fatigue and headaches, nervous symptoms, low back pain, shortness of breath, and a right little finger injury, all presumed to be related to Gulf War service.

The Board found that there is no relationship between the veteran's VA treatment with Coumadin and his current conditions, including chronic fatigue, headaches, venous insufficiency, mitral regurgitation or deep vein thrombosis.

The Board denied service connection for joint pain, memory loss and difficulty concentrating, sleep difficulties, chest pain, and chronic fatigue due to undiagnosed illnesses as there is no evidence of disabling symptoms that meet the criteria for a 10% rating.

The Board has determined that the veteran does not meet the criteria for service connection for hair loss, chronic fatigue, shortness of breath, headaches, diarrhea, or memory loss as due to an undiagnosed illness. The claims are denied.

The Board has granted service connection for arthritis, chronic fatigue syndrome, and fibromyalgia.

The Board has granted service connection for joint pain, chronic fatigue, and sleeplessness as manifestations of an undiagnosed illness related to the veteran's Gulf War service. The conditions are not considered service-connected due to lack of evidence supporting a direct link.

The Board has remanded the case for additional development, including a neurological examination to determine if the veteran has chronic fatigue syndrome or objective indications of chronic disability resulting from an illness or combination of illnesses manifested by signs or symptoms involving fatigue resulting from her Gulf War service.

The veteran's claims for increased ratings and service connection were denied. His chronic low back strain is currently rated at 40 percent, his umbilical hernia repair at 10 percent, and he does not have a cervical spine condition.

The Board has reopened the claim of service connection for PTSD and is remanding the case to determine if there is credible supporting evidence that the claimed in-service stressors occurred. The veteran's claim for service connection for Chronic Fatigue Syndrome is also being remanded.

The veteran's anemia, chronic fatigue syndrome, and chronic fatigue are presumed to have been incurred in Persian Gulf service. Scoliosis is not considered a qualifying disability for presumptive service connection under the VCAA. Epstein-Barr virus, hearing loss disability, and allergic rhinitis were also found to be related to service.

The Board denied the veteran's claim for service connection for headaches, finding that her current headache complaints are manifestations of her already service-connected chronic fatigue syndrome and fibromyalgia.

The Board has ordered a remand to obtain clarification of the opinions reached in the February 2005 VA medical examination regarding whether the veteran's chronic fatigue is related to his service, specifically his service in the Southwest Asia theater during the Gulf War.

The Board has remanded the case for further development, including a VA examination to determine the etiology of the veteran's claimed conditions and whether they are related to undiagnosed illness or other service-connected conditions.

The Board has remanded the case for further development and re-evaluation of service connection claims, including chronic fatigue syndrome.

The Board denied the veteran's claim for service connection for chronic fatigue syndrome, finding that his symptoms were related to a sleep disorder and joint pain rather than an undiagnosed illness.

The pelvic disorder is presumed to have developed as a result of the veteran's in-service motor vehicle accident.,Service connection was granted for chronic fatigue syndrome, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), and early degenerative joint disease of the hips.

The VA denied the veteran's claim of service connection for chronic fatigue syndrome, concluding that his current condition is not due to a disease or injury incurred in service.
