I had an issue similar to this - currently in 'notice of disagreement' phase. I filed in 2009, after several denials and remands, the Board granted service connection. The regional office rated me as zero up until last year saying basically that's when there was a C&P they liked to show frequency/severity of symptoms. My records are full of unofficial non-DBQ lists of frequency and severity, as well as some C&Ps - but no C&P that specifically addressed what they wanted to look at till last year, so no retro.
