Denied
The Board denied an initial compensable evaluation for chronic fatigue syndrome and remanded the claim for service connection for migraine headaches.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's CFS did not result in periods of incapacitation or require continuous medication, thus a compensable rating was not warranted. The evidence also did not support a causal relationship between the Veteran's migraines and his military service or service-connected conditions.
