Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for service connection for migraine headaches and vertigo to ensure that all relevant VA treatment records are associated with the claims file.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on a duty-to-assist error, as VA treatment records were constructively in their possession but not included in the claims file at the time of the initial rating decision.
