Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the issue of entitlement to service connection for headaches as secondary to service-connected tinnitus due to a need for an addendum opinion.
The deciding factor: An addendum opinion is needed to determine if the Veteran's current headache condition is proximately due to or aggravated by his service-connected conditions, specifically HTN, PTSD, and diabetes mellitus.
