Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the issue of entitlement to service connection for headaches, to include as secondary to bilateral tinnitus, due to an inadequate medical opinion regarding the relationship between the Veteran's headaches and his service-connected tinnitus.
The deciding factor: An adequate medical opinion addressing whether the Veteran's headaches were aggravated by his service-connected tinnitus was not provided.
