Remanded (sent back)
The Board denied a compensable evaluation for migraine headaches and remanded the claim for service connection for obstructive sleep apnea.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's migraines did not occur with characteristic prostrating attacks averaging at least one in two months over the last several months, and an adequate medical opinion was not obtained regarding the relationship between obstructive sleep apnea and active-duty service or her ulcerative colitis.
