Fibromyalgia — all decisions

The veteran's claim for reimbursement of unauthorized prescription medication costs was denied because the medications were not obtained in a medical emergency, and VA facilities were reasonably available.

The veteran's fibromyalgia was not incurred in or aggravated by active service and is not related to any incident of service. The veteran's service-connected disabilities do not preclude her from securing or following a substantially gainful occupation.

The Board denied the veteran's claim for service connection for fibromyalgia as there was no current medical diagnosis of the condition.

The Board has determined that the veteran's claim for service connection for fibromyalgia and her TDIU claim are inextricably intertwined, necessitating remand to obtain additional medical records, provide corrective VCAA notice, and arrange for a VA examination.

The Board denied the veteran's claims for service connection for PTSD and fibromyalgia, finding no diagnosed conditions in his records.

The Board has denied the claim for an earlier effective date for service connection of fibromyalgia associated with a stress fracture of the neck of the right femur, finding that no legal entitlement to such an earlier effective date exists.

The Board has remanded the case for further development to determine if the veteran's PTSD, fibromyalgia, and hemorrhoids are related to his military service.

The Board denied the veteran's claims for service connection for fibromyalgia and depression, but granted her claim for muscle tension headaches as secondary to her service-connected chronic cervical strain.

The Board has remanded the case for additional development due to missing VA records from Oklahoma City.

The veteran's fibromyalgia is currently rated at 40 percent, effective February 22, 2005. The appeal for higher ratings on other conditions remains denied.

The Board denied the veteran's claims for an increased rating for fibromyalgia and TDIU, finding that he is not entitled to a schedular disability rating higher than 40 percent.

The Board denied the veteran's claims for service connection for fibromyalgia/fibrositis and increased ratings for his foot conditions. The decision also noted that new evidence did not raise a reasonable possibility of substantiating the claim.

The Board of Veterans' Appeals found that the veteran does not have fibromyalgia and denied her claim for service connection.

The Board has denied the claims for service connection for a low back disability, sleep disorder, and fibromyalgia. The veteran provided additional evidence in September 2006.

The Board has determined that there is no evidence of malaria in service or post-service, and the veteran's fibromyalgia was not shown to be related to his military service. The low back disorder also lacks a clear link to service.

The veteran's PTSD is rated at 50 percent effective from April 9, 1997. The evaluation for fibromyalgia remains at 20 percent since March 1, 2002. A noncompensable rating was assigned for GERD before August 27, 2003.

The Board has granted the appellant's appeal and determined that new and material evidence has been received to reopen his claim for service connection for chronic fatigue syndrome. The Board also found that chronic fatigue syndrome and fibromyalgia can be attributed to vaccinations he received in service, thus granting service connection for these conditions.

The Board found that the veteran's service-connected disabilities did not prevent her from securing or following a substantially gainful occupation until December 13, 2000. Therefore, an earlier effective date is denied.

The Board found no evidence of a current disability related to sleep disorder, and denied the veteran's claim for service connection.

The Board has determined that the veteran's right ear hearing loss and fibromyalgia did not manifest during service or within one year post-service, and there is no evidence of continuity of symptomatology. The preponderance of the evidence does not support a finding that these conditions are related to service.
