Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for service connection for headaches to correct a pre-decisional duty to assist error, specifically an inadequate VA examination.
The deciding factor: The February 2023 VA medical opinion was found inadequate due to its failure to consider continuity of symptomatology and the presence of a headache disability during the relevant evidence window.
