Remanded (sent back)
The Board remanded the claim for service connection for tinnitus, including as secondary to service-connected headaches. The Veteran's contention is that her tinnitus began in-service due to hazardous noise exposure.
The deciding factor: The Board found the medical opinion inadequate because it did not address all theories of entitlement and the Veteran's lay statements.
