Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for an increased rating in excess of 50 percent for hemicrania continua and service connection claims for hypertension, ear ringing, neck problems, and eye problems as secondary to hemicrania continua due to a need for a VA examination.
The deciding factor: A remand is needed to provide opinions on the relationship between the Veteran's hemicrania continua and other claimed conditions, including whether they were caused or aggravated by the service-connected disability.
