Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for service connection for migraines to obtain a more adequate secondary service connection opinion.
The deciding factor: The October 2024 VA opinion is inadequate as it did not use the proper standard in determining whether a nexus exists between the Veteran's migraines and his service-connected obstructive sleep apnea.
