Granted

The Board has granted service connection for von Hippel-Lindau syndrome, finding that the condition first manifested during active duty and is a congenital disease. Service connection was denied for a fatigue disability due to lack of evidence of a distinct current disability.

The deciding factor: The Veteran's fatigue was found to be related to a diagnosed mental health disorder (adjustment disorder) rather than a separate fatigue disability.
