Remanded (sent back)PACT Act
The Board remands the claim for service connection for migraines to correct a pre-decisional duty to assist error related to the Veteran's presumed exposure to burn pits and other toxins during his military service in Kuwait.
The deciding factor: Remand is necessary to obtain a VA medical opinion considering the synergistic, combined effects of all potential TERAs due to the Veteran's presumed exposure to environmental hazards during his service in Kuwait.
