Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for a new examination to address the Veteran's lay statements and determine if there is a nexus between his headaches and service, including toxic exposures at Camp Lejeune.
The deciding factor: The July 2023 VA examiner did not consider the Veteran's reported symptoms, making the examination inadequate.
