Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for fibromyalgia, peripheral neuropathy of all radicular groups of the bilateral upper extremities, and cervical strain with an effective date of July 17, 2021. The claim for migraines was remanded for further development.
The deciding factor: The Veteran provided good cause for extending the time limit to submit her claims due to hospitalization on July 15, 2022, and promptly notified VA of the reason for her inability to file earlier.
