Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the issue of service connection for headaches as secondary to unspecified trauma and stressor related disorder due to a pre-decisional duty to assist error.
The deciding factor: There is conflicting evidence regarding whether the Veteran has a current diagnosis of headaches, necessitating further development to obtain relevant treatment records.
