Denied
The Board denied service connection for irritable bowel syndrome, chronic fatigue syndrome, and left knee disability as the evidence did not support a finding that these conditions began during active service or are otherwise related to an in-service injury or disease.
The deciding factor: The evidence of record does not persuasively weigh against finding that IBS, chronic fatigue syndrome, and left knee disability began during active service or are otherwise related to an in-service injury or disease.
