GrantedPACT Act
The veteran's claim for service connection for chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) resulting from Persian Gulf War service is granted. The decision is based on the veteran's qualifying service and medical evidence supporting the diagnosis of CFS.
The deciding factor: The Veteran has a formal clinical diagnosis of CFS, and medical experts opined that it is at least as likely as not that the Veteran's current CFS unexplained illness is due to his Air Force service during the Persian Gulf War.
