Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for service connection for a back condition, headaches, and TBI to correct pre-decisional duty to assist errors.
The deciding factor: Further development is necessary before adjudicating the Veteran's claims due to the need for VA examinations and opinions that address whether the claimed conditions are related to service.
