Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for service connection for chronic headaches to obtain a more adequate medical opinion that addresses the appellant's lay statements and the TERA medical opinion.
The deciding factor: The current negative nexus opinion is inadequate as it does not address the appellant's lay statements or the TERA medical opinion, which suggests a possible link between the headaches and military service.
