Remanded (sent back)
The claims for increased ratings and secondary service connection are being remanded to correct a duty-to-assist error.
The deciding factor: Remand is necessary due to an inadequate examination report that does not account for the ameliorative effects of medication, and to adjudicate whether separate or secondary service connection is warranted for cervicogenic headaches prior to October 1, 2025.
