The Board denied a rating in excess of 40 percent for fibromyalgia and remanded the issue of service connection for psychiatric disability, to include as secondary to fibromyalgia.

The deciding factor: The maximum schedular rating for fibromyalgia was already assigned, and there was no evidence that the Veteran's symptoms were not adequately contemplated by the schedular rating criteria.
