The veteran's claims for specially adapted housing and special home adaptation grant were denied. The claim for service connection for chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) was remanded.

The deciding factor: The Veteran does not have a permanent and total disability that meets the criteria for specially adapted housing or a special home adaptation grant, but there is evidence suggesting CFS may be secondary to service-connected fibromyalgia.
