Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for service connection for headaches to correct an error by the AOJ and to satisfy its duty to assist the Veteran.
The deciding factor: Remand is required due to pre-decisional duty to assist errors, including failure to provide a VA examination and medical opinion on the nature and etiology of the diagnosed tension headaches condition.
