Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for an initial rating in excess of 30 percent for migraine headaches to obtain a more accurate assessment of the severity of the condition without considering the effects of medication.
The deciding factor: A remand is necessary because the examiner did not discuss the severity of the Veteran's migraine headaches without the ameliorative effects of his medication, which is required under the applicable regulation.
