Partly granted
The Board granted an initial disability rating of 60 percent for chronic fatigue syndrome and denied higher ratings for sinusitis, a compensable rating for rhinitis, and a 10 percent rating for tremors.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's CFS symptoms are nearly constant and restrict routine daily activities to 50 to 75 percent of the pre-illness level, but also resulted in periods of incapacitation of at least six weeks total duration per year. The sinusitis and rhinitis do not meet the criteria for higher ratings.
