Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for an initial compensable disability rating for headaches due to a need for a new examination that considers the severity of the Veteran's headache disability in the absence of medication and the frequency of headaches that require her to miss school.
The deciding factor: Remand is necessary because the previous examination did not sufficiently establish the severity of the Veteran's headache disability without medication and the frequency of headaches requiring her to miss school.
