Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for service connection of chronic fatigue syndrome to obtain an addendum opinion that clearly identifies whether the Veteran has a current diagnosis of CFS, considers the identified private opinion and TERA/ILER memoranda.
The deciding factor: A remand is necessary due to pre-decisional duty to assist errors found before the February 2024 rating decision on appeal, specifically regarding an adequate opinion as to whether the Veteran has a diagnosis of CFS and whether his claimed CFS is related to service.
