Granted
The veteran's claim for service connection of chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) due to exposure to environmental toxins is granted. The Board found that the Veteran's CFS is related to his in-service exposure to environmental toxins.
The deciding factor: The Board found a February 2024 positive nexus opinion highly persuasive and more probative than a November 2024 negative nexus opinion, leading to the grant of service connection for chronic fatigue syndrome.
