Partly granted
The Board denied service connection for chronic fatigue syndrome but granted service connection for systemic joint pain, muscle pain, fever, and neuropathy, secondary to the Veteran's service-connected chronic urticaria.
The deciding factor: The September 2024 VA examination report found that a diagnosis of chronic fatigue syndrome was not warranted due to other possible causes of the Veteran's reported symptoms. However, it linked systemic joint pain, muscle pain, fever, and neuropathy to his service-connected chronic urticaria.
