Denied
The Board denied service connection for chronic fatigue syndrome and a compensable disability rating for irritable bowel syndrome, while remanding the issue of a higher rating for migraine headaches.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support a diagnosis of CFS or moderate symptoms of IBS. The Veteran's migraines were not found to warrant an increased rating.
