Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for the Veteran's psychiatric disorders (PTSD, depression, anxiety) and granted an initial 30 percent disability rating for sinusitis. The claim for chronic fatigue syndrome was denied.
The deciding factor: The evidence supported a nexus between the Veteran's in-service stressors and his current psychiatric conditions, but there was insufficient evidence to support a diagnosis of chronic fatigue syndrome at the time of the appeal.
