Denied
The Board denied an initial rating in excess of 40 percent for chronic fatigue syndrome, a finding of total disability based on individual unemployability due solely to CFS, and special monthly compensation based the need for regular aid and attendance of another.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's symptoms did not cause the level of impairment required for higher ratings or other benefits as they were not nearly constant or severely restrictive of daily activities.
