Partly granted
The Board granted a 20 percent rating for bilateral dry eye syndrome but denied service connection for chronic fatigue syndrome and pelvic floor disorder.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's symptoms of bilateral dry eye syndrome were found to be consistent with the criteria for a 20 percent rating, while there was no evidence supporting a diagnosis of CFS or a pelvic floor disorder.
