The Board denied service connection for a respiratory insufficiency and an increased rating for PTSD with major depressive disorder, and remanded the claim for service connection for chronic fatigue syndrome.
The deciding factor: The evidence of record does not support a finding that the Veteran has a current diagnosis of a respiratory condition or that her symptoms are attributable to a known clinical diagnosis. The severity, frequency, and duration of the Veteran's PTSD with major depressive disorder symptoms did not more closely approximate total occupational and social impairment.
