Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for service connection for residuals of a traumatic brain injury and migraine-tension headaches due to pre-decisional duty-to-assist errors.
The deciding factor: Pre-decisional duty-to-assist errors occurred as no adequate VA examination or medical opinion was obtained, which are necessary to make a decision on the claim.
