Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for service connection of migraines, secondary to a service-connected acquired psychiatric disorder and tinnitus, due to duty-to-assist errors in prior VA examinations.
The deciding factor: Remand is necessary due to inadequate etiological opinions provided by previous examiners and failure to address lay statements submitted by the Veteran.
