The Board found that the veteran's symptom of chronic fatigue is due to an undiagnosed illness incurred in service, and thus granted service connection for this condition. However, there was no evidence showing a current diagnosis of sleep disturbance as due to an undiagnosed illness.
The deciding factor: Service connection established based on symptoms attributable to an undiagnosed illness during service.
