Granted
The Board granted service connection for a heart disability, which is considered a medically unexplained chronic multisymptom illness related to the Veteran's service in Southwest Asia during the Persian Gulf War.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's heart condition was found to be a diagnosable yet medically unexplained chronic multisymptom illness with an unknown etiology that became manifest to a compensable degree after service, and there is no clear and unmistakable evidence to the contrary.
