The veteran's claim for service connection for an undiagnosed illness manifested by fatigue is being remanded due to the inadequacy of the June 2001 VA examination and the need for additional development, including obtaining medical records and scheduling a comprehensive VA examination.
The deciding factor: The VA examiner did not provide findings and opinions that satisfy the requirements for an adequate examination pertaining to an undiagnosed illness claim.
