Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for service connection for migraine headaches and a total disability rating based on individual unemployability due to pre-decisional duty to assist errors.
The deciding factor: The claims are remanded because of pre-decisional duty to assist errors, including VA's failure to notify the Veteran of its unsuccessful attempts to obtain his service medical records and provide an adequate examination for secondary service connection.
