Denied
The Board denied service connection for chronic fatigue syndrome and bilateral restless leg syndrome, finding no evidence of current diagnoses or a nexus to service.
The deciding factor: The probative evidence did not support the presence of CFS or RLS, and there was insufficient evidence linking these conditions to the Veteran's service, including any environmental exposures during his deployment in the Persian Gulf.
