Partly granted
The Board granted an initial disability rating of 60 percent for chronic fatigue syndrome and an effective date of June 15, 2022, for basic eligibility for Dependents' Educational Assistance (DEA) benefits.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's symptoms more nearly approximated the criteria for a 60 percent disability rating based on their impact on routine daily activities.
