Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for an initial rating in excess of 30 percent for the service-connected headache disability due to a need for a VA examination.
The deciding factor: The private medical opinion is found inadequate, and the Veteran's testimony is inconclusive. A VA examination is necessary to properly evaluate the severity of the disability.
