Granted
The Board granted an initial 40 percent rating for fibromyalgia, finding that the Veteran's symptoms have been constant or nearly so and refractory to therapy during the entire period on appeal.
The deciding factor: The evidence was at least evenly balanced as to whether the Veteran's fibromyalgia symptoms were constant or nearly so and refractory to therapy, and reasonable doubt was resolved in favor of the Veteran.
