Remanded (sent back)
The Board remanded the veteran's claim for service connection of migraines, including as secondary to tinnitus. The veteran must undergo a VA examination to determine the cause of his migraines.
The deciding factor: A medical examination is necessary because there is insufficient evidence to decide the claim but indications that the disability may be related to military service.
