The Board remands the claims for an initial compensable rating for migraine headache with variant, sinus headache, and acute intermittent headache as well as dyshidrotic eczema (claimed as skin condition eczema and acne) to correct pre-decisional duty to assist errors.
The deciding factor: The examination reports were found inadequate due to insufficient information regarding the frequency of symptoms and impact on work for the migraine/headache disability, and lack of clarity regarding the areas impacted by the skin condition during active episodes. These issues must be addressed through new examinations before a decision can be made.
