Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for service connection for migraines, to include as secondary to a service-connected cervical spine disability, for an adequate VA examination.
The deciding factor: The December 2023 and April 2024 private treatment records indicate neck pain accompanying migraine symptoms, but the October 2024 VA examiner did not address this in their opinion.
