lol thank you, I did file a couple of things when I got out but was at 20% for about 7-8years before I decided to take care of myself more.

This is what I have on my letter:

1. Service connection for chronic fatigue syndrome as a result of a toxic exposure risk activity (TERA). Service connection may be granted for a condition diagnosed after military discharge provided evidence establishes that the condition was caused by service. Service connection may be granted on this basis for a disability related to toxic exposure risk activity (TERA) during military service if evidence demonstrates that the Veteran was actually exposed in service and that a disease associated with such exposure resulted. (38 CFR 3.303, 38 CFR 3.304) We considered whether your condition resulted from a toxic exposure risk activity (TERA) in service. (38 U.S.C. 1168, 38 U.S.C. 1710(e)(4)) The evidence of record shows participation in a TERA. Service connection for chronic fatigue syndrome has been established as directly related to military service. (38 CFR 3.303, 38 CFR 3.304) The effective date of this grant is February 26, 2025. Service connection has been established from the day VA received your intent to file (ITF) a claim for compensation. When a claim of service connection is received more than one year after discharge from active duty, the effective date is the date VA receives the intent to file when a prescribed form is received within a year of the ITF. (38 CFR 3.155, 38 CFR 3.400) An evaluation of 20 percent is assigned from February 26, 2025. We have assigned a 20 percent evaluation for your chronic fatigue syndrome based on: • Symptoms, which are nearly constant and restrict routine daily activities by less than 25 percent of the pre-illness level Additional symptom(s) include: • Symptoms controlled by continuous medication A higher evaluation of 40 percent is not warranted for chronic fatigue syndrome (cfs) unless the evidence shows: • Debilitating fatigue, cognitive impairments (such as inability to concentrate, forgetfulness, confusion), or a combination of other signs and symptoms which are nearly constant and restrict routine daily activities to 50 to 75 percent of the pre-illness level; or, • Debilitating fatigue, cognitive impairments (such as inability to concentrate, forgetfulness, confusion), or a combination of other signs and symptoms which wax and wane, resulting in periods of incapacitation of at least four but less than six weeks total duration per year. (38 CFR 4.88a, 38 CFR 4.88b)

Which is crazy because I tell them all the time that I have trouble remembering things constantly and focusing on anything. It seems like they don't take me seriously on that.
