Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the matter for a new medical examination to determine the nature and etiology of the Veteran's migraines, including whether they are related to or aggravated by his service-connected tinnitus.
The deciding factor: Remand is necessary due to an inadequate February 2025 VA examination that failed to consider all relevant evidence and provided conclusory rationale.
