Denied
The Board denied service connection for chronic fatigue syndrome, remanded the claims for an acquired psychiatric disorder and HIV for further development.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support a diagnosis of chronic fatigue syndrome, and there was no current disability to establish service connection. The claims for an acquired psychiatric disorder and HIV were remanded due to inadequate VA examinations.
