Denied
The Board denied the veteran's appeal for a rating in excess of 60 percent for chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS). The veteran's symptoms were found to be severe but not warranting a higher rating.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's CFS symptoms, while severe, did not meet the criteria for a rating in excess of 60 percent as they did not completely restrict routine daily activities or preclude self-care.
