Denied
The Board denied the veteran's claim for an effective date prior to March 1, 2002, for service connection of chronic fatigue syndrome. The decision was based on the lack of objective indications of a chronic disability at the time the relevant law went into effect.
The deciding factor: The Veteran did not meet all eligibility criteria for entitlement to service connection under the Veterans' Benefits Improvements Act of 1994 on the effective date of that act.
