Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the case to schedule an examination for a proper evaluation of chronic fatigue syndrome and its potential relation to service, including Gulf War service.
The deciding factor: The March 2025 VA examination was found inadequate as it did not provide a diagnosis of CFS or discuss the etiology of symptoms related to fatigue. A remand is required to obtain an adequate opinion considering possible Gulf War etiology.
