Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for a supplemental medical opinion to address whether the Veteran's in-service assault caused or aggravated his migraine headaches.
The deciding factor: The previous VA examination was found inadequate due to its reliance on the absence of in-service records without considering the Veteran's lay statements.
