Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for a new VA opinion to address the nature and etiology of the Veteran's migraine headaches, including whether they are related to active-duty service or aggravated by service-connected tinnitus.
The deciding factor: The May 2021 and September 2023 VA opinions were found inadequate due to lack of explanation and consideration of relevant evidence.
