Denied
The Board denied service connection for chronic fatigue syndrome and remanded the issue of service connection for an acquired psychiatric disorder, to include PTSD and generalized anxiety disorder.
The deciding factor: There is no evidence linking the Veteran's claimed conditions to her active duty service, and a medical examination was not required given the lack of evidence suggesting an etiological relationship between the claimed conditions and service.
