Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for service connection for fibromyalgia to obtain a new examination and medical opinion, as well as to determine if a toxic exposure risk activity (TERA) examination is necessary.
The deciding factor: The previous VA opinion was inadequate and a TERA exam is necessary due to the Veteran's participation in a TERA during his service in Iraq from May to November 2011.
