Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the issues of service connection for migraine headaches and an initial rating in excess of 50 percent for migraine headaches due to inadequate examination opinions.
The deciding factor: The opinions provided by the VA examiners were deemed inadequate as they relied on general medical literature without addressing the specific facts of the case, thus requiring addendum opinions.
