Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for service connection for migraine headaches to correct pre-decisional duty to assist errors, including scheduling a VA examination and obtaining an opinion on the etiology of the condition.
The deciding factor: A remand is necessary due to the lack of evidence regarding the Veteran's diagnosis and etiology of his claimed migraine headaches, as well as the need for an opinion considering toxic exposure risk activities during service.
