The appeal for Gilbert's syndrome was dismissed because it was granted during the appeal process. Service connection for chronic fatigue syndrome was denied as symptoms are already compensated by other service-connected conditions. The issues of service connection for bilateral pes planus and bilateral carpal tunnel syndrome were remanded for further evaluation.

The deciding factor: The decision on Gilbert's syndrome was based on it being granted during the appeal process, while chronic fatigue syndrome was denied due to existing compensation for related symptoms; bilateral pes planus and bilateral carpal tunnel syndrome were remanded due to inadequate medical examinations.
