The Board has granted service connection for an organic anxiety disorder and for an undiagnosed illness manifesting as fatigue and forgetfulness. Service connection for headaches was not established.
The deciding factor: The evidence is in equipoise regarding whether the veteran's current fatigue and forgetfulness are due to an undiagnosed illness, leading to a grant of service connection for this condition.
