Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for a more adequate medical opinion to address whether the Veteran's tension headaches are related to his service in the Persian Gulf, including exposure to fine particulate matter.
The deciding factor: The previous opinions were found inadequate due to lack of clear rationale and failure to address specific facts of the case.
