Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the issue of entitlement to service connection for a headache disorder, claimed as cluster headaches, due to duty-to-assist errors and conflicting evidence regarding the Veteran's current disability and its relation to service.
The deciding factor: Conflicting findings between examination reports and opinions necessitate further development before a decision can be made on the merits.
