The Board granted a 70 percent rating for PTSD but denied service connection for chronic fatigue syndrome and chronic sinusitis.
The deciding factor: The severity, frequency, and duration of the Veteran's symptoms more nearly approximated occupational and social impairment with deficiencies in most areas, warranting a 70 percent rating. However, there was no persuasive evidence to support a current diagnosis of CFS or chronic sinusitis during the pendency of the claim.
