Partly granted
The Board denied service connection for chronic fatigue syndrome and right lower extremity radiculopathy, but granted service connection for sinusitis on a presumptive basis due to exposure to fine particulate matter during service.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support the presence of CFS or right lower extremity radiculopathy, while there was sufficient evidence to grant service connection for chronic sinusitis based on presumed exposure to fine particulate matter during service in Saudi Arabia.
