Remanded (sent back)
The appeal for an initial compensable rating for headaches is remanded. The Board found issues with the VA examination and ordered a new one to clarify the nature and severity of the veteran's headaches.
The deciding factor: The VA examination was inadequate because it did not reconcile inconsistent findings and consider all relevant lay statements.
