Partly granted
The Board granted an initial rating of 40 percent for fibromyalgia but denied service connection for bilateral neuropathy of the upper extremities.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support a finding that the Veteran's current diagnosis of cubital tunnel syndrome was related to in-service events, and thus no nexus could be established.
