Denied
The Board denied the veteran's claim for service connection for chronic fatigue syndrome as there was no current diagnosis of the condition and it was attributed to his already service-connected disabilities.
The deciding factor: The May 2022 and August 2023 VA examinations found that the Veteran did not meet the diagnostic criteria for chronic fatigue syndrome, and his reported symptoms were attributable to his service-connected psychiatric disability, sleep apnea, and headaches.
