Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for an initial compensable disability rating for migraine headaches to correct multiple pre-decisional duty to assist errors.
The deciding factor: Remand is necessary due to unaddressed lay statements and missing non-VA treatment records that were not considered in the October 2023 VA examination.
