Partly granted
The Board granted an evaluation of 60 percent for chronic fatigue syndrome beginning May 23, 2023, but denied an earlier effective date for the award of service connection.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's CFS symptoms have been nearly constant and restricted his daily activity level to less than 50 percent of pre-illness levels since at least May 23, 2023, warranting a 60 percent evaluation. However, an earlier effective date for the award of service connection was not warranted.
