Granted
The Board granted restoration of service connection for Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Lumbar Spine Degenerative Disc Disease, finding that the severance of these conditions was improper.
The deciding factor: The grants were found to be not clearly and unmistakably erroneous due to evidence indicating a presumptive relationship with Gulf War service.
