DeniedPACT Act
The Board denied service connection for chronic fatigue syndrome because the most probative evidence showed that CFS was not diagnosed during the appeal and does not meet the criteria for an undiagnosed illness or a medically unexplained chronic multisymptom illness.
The deciding factor: The decision relied on the lack of diagnosis and the inadequacy of medical evidence to support service connection.
