Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for service connection for sinusitis, vertigo, migraine headaches, and gastroesophageal reflux disease due to a pre-decisional duty to assist error.
The deciding factor: The medical opinions regarding the conditions were found inadequate as they did not adequately consider the Veteran's lay statements or the Saunders criteria.
