Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) as they are etiologically related to the Veteran's service-connected disabilities with symptomology separate from those disabilities.
The deciding factor: The symptoms of fibromyalgia and CFS overlap with the Veteran's mental health conditions, but there are functional impairments that must be addressed by the RO.
