Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for an initial rating in excess of 30 percent prior to October 5, 2022, for a headache disability due to a duty to assist error.
The deciding factor: Remand is necessary to obtain supplemental clinical findings addressing the severity of the Veteran's service-connected headache disability without the ameliorative effects of medication.
