Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for a new VA examination to assess the severity of the Veteran's service-connected migraines without considering the ameliorative effects of medications prescribed for them.
The deciding factor: The September 2023 VA examination report was found inadequate as it did not address the complete history of prescribed medications, including Eletriptan, and its impact on the Veteran's symptoms.
