Denied
The Board denied service connection for a chronic fatigue disability, to include CFS, and remanded the claims for service connection for obesity as secondary to service-connected right and left knee disabilities and for obstructive sleep apnea.
The deciding factor: The evidence of record does not reflect any diagnosed, undiagnosed, or other qualifying chronic fatigue disability during the period on appeal. The Veteran's fatigue is attributable to other conditions such as OSA, hypogonadism, and obesity.
