Denied
The Board denied an earlier effective date for the grant of service connection for chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) as it was granted under the PACT Act, and no relevant new evidence was provided to support a different effective date.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the lack of a current disability at the time of the claim and the denial of direct service connection due to the absence of a diagnosis of CFS during service or shortly thereafter.
