Remanded (sent back)
The Board remanded the issues of an initial compensable rating for vascular headaches prior to March 23, 2020, and a total disability rating based on individual unemployability due to service-connected vascular headaches alone.
The deciding factor: The Board found that a remand is necessary to obtain a retrospective medical examination and updated medical records.
