Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for chronic sinusitis and migraine headaches to obtain additional medical evidence regarding their relationship to service or other service-connected conditions.
The deciding factor: The December 2024 VA opinions did not provide adequate rationale, specifically regarding whether the Veteran's chronic sinusitis is caused or aggravated by his service-connected bilateral hearing loss, and whether his migraine headaches are caused or aggravated by his service-connected tinnitus.
