Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the issues of entitlement to an initial compensable rating for bilateral hearing loss and service connection for migraine headaches, to include as secondary to service-connected tinnitus and bilateral hearing loss.
The deciding factor: The Board finds that a remand is required due to pre-decisional duty to assist errors in obtaining necessary medical records and addendum opinions.
