Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the matter for a new VA examination to determine the current severity of the Veteran's migraines without considering the ameliorative effects of medication.
The deciding factor: The January 2023 and May 2023 examinations were inadequate as they did not consider the ameliorative effect of medication on the Veteran's migraine symptoms.
