Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for service connection for headaches and post-concussion syndrome to schedule a VA examination due to missing service treatment records.
The deciding factor: Remand is necessary to provide the Veteran with an examination given the missing service treatment records and his report of in-service injury, as well as to fulfill VA's duty to assist under the 'benefit of the doubt' rule.
