Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for service connection for migraine headaches to correct pre-decisional duty to assist errors and to secure a more comprehensive medical opinion.
The deciding factor: The VA examiners' opinions were found inadequate due to their failure to consider all relevant theories of service connection, including TERA participation and Gulf War disability presumptions.
