Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for a new VA medical opinion to determine whether the Veteran's headache disability is related to service.
The deciding factor: The opinions provided were conclusory and did not provide a rationale for the opinion that the Veteran's headaches are less likely than not due to service as there was a lack of complaints for headaches during service, thus a new VA medical opinion must be obtained.
