Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the issue of entitlement to an increased disability rating for the Veteran's service-connected migraine headaches due to a pre-decisional duty to assist error.
The deciding factor: Remand is necessary as the VA examinations did not discount the ameliorative effects of medication, which may have resulted in an inadequate evaluation of the severity of the Veteran's migraines.
