The Veteran's claims for service connection for migraine headaches and chronic fatigue syndrome have been reopened, but the issues are being remanded due to insufficient evidence.,A new VA examination is needed to determine if the Veteran has a diagnosis of chronic fatigue syndrome or an undiagnosed illness manifested by chronic fatigue.
The deciding factor: The claims for service connection were previously denied and reopened with the submission of new and material evidence. However, further evaluation is required to substantiate these claims.,There is insufficient evidence to determine if the Veteran has a diagnosis of chronic fatigue syndrome or an undiagnosed illness.
