Remanded (sent back)PACT Act
The Board remanded the claim for service connection of migraines due to inadequate medical opinions and a need for further development regarding exposure to burn pits.
The deciding factor: The VA's medical opinions were found inadequate because they did not address key aspects of the Veteran's claims, including the onset of headaches in 2014 and the potential link to burn pit exposure.
