Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for a compensable rating for tension headaches and service connection for headaches other than tension headaches to obtain a clarifying medical opinion.
The deciding factor: The examinations are inadequate due to overlapping symptoms between the tension headache and migraine diagnoses, making it unclear if they represent separate disabilities or if one is caused or aggravated by the other.
