Denied
The Board denied service connection for fatigue and an initial rating above 10 percent for reactive airway disease, as the evidence did not support a finding of chronic fatigue or a disability that warranted a higher rating based on pulmonary function test results.
The deciding factor: The December 2023 VA examination found no current diagnosis of chronic fatigue and provided a negative nexus opinion. The Veteran's FEV-1/FVC ratio was within the non-compensable range, not warranting a higher rating for reactive airway disease.
