Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for service connection for migraines to the RO for a VA examination due to a pre-decisional duty to assist error.
The deciding factor: A pre-decisional duty to assist error was made because the RO did not obtain a VA examination before denying the claim, and an appropriate examiner is needed to determine the nature and etiology of the Veteran's migraines.
