Remanded (sent back)
The appeal for service connection of headaches is remanded. The Board needs more medical evidence to determine if the veteran's tinnitus caused or worsened the headaches.
The deciding factor: The Board found that a pre-decisional duty to assist error occurred because the examiner did not address whether the Veteran's service-connected disabilities caused any worsening.
