The Board found that new and material evidence was not received to reopen claims for service connection of fibromyalgia, left groin condition, left inguinal neuritis, and adjustment disorder. The Veteran's claim for increased ratings on February 10, 2015, is remanded.
The deciding factor: The new evidence did not provide a current diagnosis or establish that the conditions were service-connected.
