Denied
The Board denied service connection for chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, higher ratings for migraine headaches and a psychiatric disorder, and an initial rating for dermatitis. The respiratory disorder and tremors of the hands were remanded.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not show that the Veteran had CFS or fibromyalgia during service, nor was there sufficient evidence to establish service connection for higher ratings or an initial rating for the other conditions.
