Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the issues of service connection for an undiagnosed illness characterized by pain in the shoulders, knees, fingers, and toes, claimed as fibromyalgia, prior to August 10, 2022, and GERD due to a need for additional development of evidence.
The deciding factor: The Board finds that remand is necessary to obtain any relevant outstanding treatment records from the Veteran's private physicians.
