Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for service connection for chronic fatigue syndrome to correct pre-decisional duty to assist errors, including an inadequate medical examination and opinion.
The deciding factor: The January 2024 VA examiner's opinion is found to be inadequate as it did not provide a reasoned medical explanation connecting the Veteran's symptoms to his claimed condition or address secondary service connection adequately.
