The Board has determined that the RO failed to properly adjudicate the Veteran's August 8, 2019 supplemental claim of entitlement to service connection for chronic fatigue. As such, this matter is being remanded for further development and adjudication.
The deciding factor: The RO incorrectly determined that the Veteran’s August 8, 2019 supplemental claim was not properly filed due to a prior Board decision still under review.
