The Board denied service connection for chronic fatigue syndrome, central pain syndrome, and remanded the claim for fibromyalgia due to an inadequate VA examination.

The deciding factor: The evidence did not reflect separate diagnoses of chronic fatigue syndrome or central pain syndrome, and there was no sufficient evidence linking these conditions to the Veteran's active service.
