Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for an earlier effective date for service connection and evaluation of migraine headaches, as additional evidence is needed to determine if the Veteran's PTSD could have aggravated his migraines.
The deciding factor: Further medical opinion is required to address whether the Veteran's service-connected PTSD has aggravated his migraine headaches beyond their natural progression.
