Denied
The Board denied service connection for fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome, finding no evidence of these conditions during or related to the Veteran's military service. The claim for obstructive sleep apnea was remanded for further development.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support a diagnosis of either fibromyalgia or chronic fatigue syndrome, and there was no link established between these conditions and the Veteran's military service.
