Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the matter for a VA examination to address the Veteran's fatigue, including whether it is related to service or his service-connected sleep apnea.
The deciding factor: The July 2022 VA examiner did not address the diagnosis of CFS in the VA treatment records and failed to consider the Veteran's service-connected sleep apnea in determining the etiology of his fatigue.
