The Board denied a disability rating in excess of 60 percent for chronic fatigue syndrome and remanded the claims for service connection for tremors of the left and right hands.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not show that the Veteran's chronic fatigue syndrome was nearly constant and so severe as to restrict routine daily activities almost completely, which would be required for a 100 percent rating. The Board found an inadequate medical opinion regarding the etiology of the tremors in the hands and remanded the claims for further development.
