Denied
The Board denied service connection for an undiagnosed illness characterized by chronic fatigue syndrome, remanded the claims for carpal tunnel syndrome and a psychiatric disorder to be further developed, and found that there was no evidence supporting the Veteran's claim of CFS.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not show that the Veteran had a current illness, undiagnosed or otherwise, characterized by chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), that was incurred in or resulted from service, to include exposure to environmental hazards.
