The Board denied the veteran's claim for service connection for chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) as there was no diagnosis of CFS. The claims for a urinary disorder, diagnosed as overreactive bladder, and bilateral pes planus were remanded for further development.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support a diagnosis of CFS, and the VA examiner's opinion found that the Veteran’s symptoms could be attributed to other conditions or service-connected disabilities. The claims for urinary disorder and bilateral pes planus required additional medical evidence due to inadequate previous opinions.
