The Board has remanded the Veteran's claims for additional examinations to determine the nature and cause of her left nostril disability, as well as the current severity of her service-connected migraine-related vestibulopathy, atypical neuralgia, and left eye corneal involvement. The issues of entitlement to a higher rating and an earlier effective date are also remanded.
The deciding factor: The Board found that additional examinations were needed due to the complexity of the claims and the need for clarification regarding the nature and cause of the Veteran's disabilities.
