Remanded (sent back)
The Board remanded the claim for service connection of headaches. The Veteran will get a new examination to determine if his headaches are related to his service or his service-connected tinnitus.
The deciding factor: The examiner failed to consider the Veteran's lay assertions and the etiology of the disability on a secondary basis.
