Partly granted
The Board denied service connection for chronic fatigue syndrome and an increased rating for frontal chronic sinusitis, while remanding claims for an increased initial rating evaluation for migraines and entitlement to service connection for hypertension.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support a current diagnosis of chronic fatigue syndrome or establish that the Veteran's hypertension was caused by his service-connected sleep apnea.
