Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for an initial disability rating in excess of 30 percent disabling for service-connected tension headaches to provide the Veteran with a VA examination to determine the severity of her tension headaches, discounting the ameliorative effects of any medication.
The deciding factor: A remand is required to provide the Veteran with an additional VA examination to estimate the severity of her tension headaches if medications are not used.
