Denied
The Board denied service connection for chronic fatigue syndrome due to a lack of evidence supporting a current diagnosis and the absence of an in-service incurrence or aggravation.
The deciding factor: The VA examinations concluded that there was no sufficient evidence to support a diagnosis of CFS, and the Veteran's reported symptoms were attributed to his cardiovascular disease and diabetes mellitus.
