Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for service connection of migraine headaches to obtain a complete copy of the Veteran's service treatment and personnel records, as well as a VA examination to determine if there is an etiological relationship between the Veteran's current headache disability and toxic exposure during active service.
The deciding factor: Remand is necessary due to incomplete service records and the need for a medical opinion regarding potential toxic exposure related to service in the Southwest Asia theater of operations.
