The Board granted service connection for chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), arrhythmia, and fatigue and cardiovascular symptoms due to an undiagnosed illness. The claim for a compensable rating for chronic headaches was denied.
The deciding factor: The evidence supported the grant of service connection for CFS, arrhythmia, and fatigue and cardiovascular symptoms due to an undiagnosed illness, but did not support a compensable rating for chronic headaches during the period on review.
