I have a FDC in progress right now (PTSD and hearing/tinnitus) but have a new diagnosis this week of fibromyalgia from the VA rheumatologist that was not filed yet. Can I add this to my claim without hurting the FDC status or just wait until this one is complete and start a new one for Fibromyalgia. Since it is a presumptive does the claim need to be filed before 31 Dec 2016 or just the diagnosis before this date (which I should have in writing once myhealth blue button updates in a few days). Thanks.

+1 on the advice from Gastone. If you are referring to the cutoff for GW presumptive, you'll need proof (i.e. a DX) that the condition manifested prior to that date. Unknown if it will be extend
