Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for a compensable rating for migraines and an increased rating for right knee meniscal and anterior cruciate ligament tear due to the Veteran's failure to appear for VA examinations without good cause.
The deciding factor: Remand is necessary to schedule the Veteran for another examination as he was not given proper notice of the scheduled VA examination, thus providing good cause for his absence.
