Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for an initial increased disability rating in excess of 30 percent for migraines due to an inadequate VA examination.
The deciding factor: The August 2024 VA examination is found to be inadequate as it fails to account for the severity of the Veteran's current migraine symptoms without considering the ameliorating effects of medications.
