Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for service connection for migraines including migraine variants with headaches to obtain an addendum opinion regarding whether the Veteran's migraine headache diagnosis is at least as likely as not caused or aggravated by his service-connected postoperative sinusitis with headaches, and to determine if there is a nexus between the Veteran's migraine diagnosis and toxic exposure risk activities.
The deciding factor: The Board remands for an addendum opinion on causation and aggravation of migraines by postoperative sinusitis with headaches, as well as to assess any potential toxic exposure risk activities (TERA) related to the Veteran's service.
