Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the Veteran's claim for an initial rating greater than 10 percent for migraine headaches to cure a pre-decisional duty to assist error.
The deciding factor: A remand is necessary to determine the severity of the Veteran's migraine headache symptoms while discounting the ameliorative effects of medication, as required by Jones v. Shinseki, 26 Vet. App. 56 (2012).
