The Board denied service connection for fatigue, sleep disorder, and psychiatric disorder. The veteran's complaints of fatigue did not manifest during service in the Southwest Asia theater of operations and have not resulted in a diagnosed disability.,Service connection was granted for chronic sleep disorder as due to a qualifying chronic disability.
The deciding factor: The evidence does not show objective indications or incapacitating episodes resulting from the veteran's reported symptoms of fatigue, which are not shown by objective indicators. The veteran's complaints of fatigue have not manifested to a compensable degree (10%) since service separation.
