The Board granted service connection for chronic diarrhea, resolving reasonable doubt in favor of the Veteran. The claims for a chronic fatigue disorder and a chronic pain disorder were remanded for further development.
The deciding factor: The evidence was at least evenly balanced regarding the Veteran's chronic diarrhea, so reasonable doubt was resolved in his favor. For the other conditions, more information is needed to determine their etiology.
