Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the case to obtain a retrospective opinion on the severity and manifestations of the Veteran's service-connected fibromyalgia from November 1, 2010, through August 26, 2020.
The deciding factor: A pre-decisional duty to assist error needs correction as there are medical records showing a diagnosis of fibromyalgia in 2009 that were not considered during the initial evaluation.
