The Board granted service connection for an acquired psychiatric disorder and denied service connection for a disability due to an undiagnosed illness, including chronic fatigue syndrome, weight loss, insomnia and trouble sleeping.
The deciding factor: The evidence supported the Veteran's claim for an acquired psychiatric disorder but not for the other conditions due to lack of medical evidence linking them to his military service.
