Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for entitlement to service connection for migraine headaches, to include as secondary to a service-connected cervical spine disability, for an addendum medical opinion.
The deciding factor: The May 2024 VA medical opinion was found inadequate because it only addressed causation and did not address whether the Veteran's migraine headaches were aggravated by his service-connected cervical spine disability.
