Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for a higher rating for migraines due to an inadequate VA examination and private provider opinion.
The deciding factor: The VA examiner's report was found inadequate as it did not consider all areas of head affected by migraines, and the private provider's opinion was based on an improper credibility determination.
