Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for service connection for benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV), migraine headaches, and traumatic brain injury (TBI) to correct a duty to assist error that occurred prior to the rating decision on appeal.
The deciding factor: The RO did not afford the Veteran an adequate VA examination or obtain a medical opinion addressing the etiology of the Veteran's BPPV, TBI, and migraine headaches.
