Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for major depressive disorder as secondary to the Veteran's service-connected seizure disorder and denied service connection for chronic fatigue syndrome. The appeal regarding sleep apnea was remanded.
The deciding factor: Service connection for major depressive disorder was granted based on a nexus to the Veteran's service-connected seizure disorder, while chronic fatigue syndrome was denied due to lack of evidence supporting a current diagnosis during the period on appeal.
