Remanded (sent back)
The Board is remanding the claim for a higher initial rating for migraines to obtain an opinion regarding the impact of medications on the severity of the Veteran's condition.
The deciding factor: The April 2023 VA examination was not adequate to assess the severity of the Veteran's migraines without considering the ameliorative effects of medication.
