Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for a rating in excess of 30 percent for tension headaches, service connection for migraine headaches, and an effective date prior to March 29, 2022, for the grant of a 30 percent rating for tension headaches due to insufficient evidence.
The deciding factor: The current VA examination reports do not clearly distinguish between symptoms attributed to the Veteran's service-connected tension headaches and his nonservice connected migraines, necessitating further clarification.
