Granted
The Board granted an effective date of January 20, 2009, for service connection for chronic fatigue syndrome and special monthly compensation based on housebound status.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's disability was present when he initially filed his claim in 2009, and the record reflects that he continuously pursued his claim since then. The Board found that a rating of 60 percent is warranted from January 20, 2009.
