Remanded (sent back)PACT Act
The Board remands the claim for a new VA examination and medical opinion to address the Veteran's headache disability, including whether it is related to service or secondary to service-connected tinnitus.
The deciding factor: A new VA examination and medical opinion are needed as the previous one was found inadequate due to lack of evidence supporting a current diagnosis of a headache condition.
