Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the case for a new VA examination to reassess the severity of the Veteran's service-connected tension headaches, as the last examination was conducted 7 years ago and the Veteran has reported worsening symptoms.
The deciding factor: The Veteran has claimed that his condition has worsened since the last examination, which occurred 7 years ago, necessitating a new evaluation to accurately assess the current severity of his tension headaches.
