0 Moderator broncovet Posted October 20, 2015 Moderator Share Posted October 20, 2015 "Chronic Fatigue" is a symptom of several diagnosis. For example, sleep apnea can cause "chronic fatigue", and do could mental health disorders. You can apply for benefits of mental disorders, and some of them may include "Chronic fatigue" as a symptom. "Chronic" means its an ongoing problem, as opposet to "acute" which means its of a shorter duration. Generally to be compensated, our symptoms have to be "chronic", because if they are acute, then we get over them and move on.

0 Guest Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 Please keep in mind that examiners do not make the rating decisions they only examine veterans to see if a current condition is related to your military service. It may be true, but make VA put it in writing. If you have multiple complaints of fatigue in your service records just like you have some type of depression symptoms in your records than VA should be able to separate the two conditions.
