Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for additional development, including verification of in-service stressors and obtaining medical opinions to determine the etiology of the Veteran's psychiatric disorder and migraine headache disorder.
The deciding factor: The Board finds good cause for the Veteran's failure to report for scheduled examinations and that a remand is necessary to obtain another opportunity for the Veteran to attend an examination for these claims.
