Denied
The Board denied service connection for fatigue, traumatic brain injury (TBI), gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), left wrist disability, cervical spine disability, radiculopathy of the right upper extremity, and radiculopathy of the left upper extremity as there was no evidence to support a current diagnosis or that these conditions were related to service.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the Veteran did not have a current chronic fatigue syndrome disability separate from his obstructive sleep apnea, did not have a TBI with residuals, and that GERD, left wrist, cervical spine, and upper extremity radiculopathy were not related to service or any service-connected condition.
