Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for service connection for chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) to correct a pre-decisional duty to assist error, as the previous VA examinations were found inadequate.
The deciding factor: The April 2022 and November 2023 VA examination reports were deemed inadequate due to their failure to address relevant private treatment records and other symptoms reported by the Veteran.
