The Board has granted an effective date of June 18, 1957 for the grant of service connection for chorioretinal scar of the right eye. The veteran's claim was reopened in June 1957 and his belief in entitlement to service connection benefits for the eye disorder is considered.

The Board has granted service connection for migraine headaches as secondary to the Veteran's service-connected iritis of the right eye, chorioretinal scar of the right eye, and angle closure glaucoma, to include bilateral dry eye syndrome. The case is also remanded for further development regarding a compensable rating prior to February 21, 2018, and in excess of 30 percent thereafter for iritis of the right eye, chorioretinal scar of the right eye, angle closure glaucoma, to include bilateral dry eye syndrome, bilateral epiretinal membrane, and bilateral pseudophakia.

The Board has remanded the case due to inadequate opinions regarding the severity of the Veteran's eye disabilities, the etiology of her visual field defects and headaches, and whether she is entitled to a compensable rating prior to February 21, 2018, and in excess of 30 percent thereafter for iritis of the right eye, chorioretinal scar of the right eye, and angle closure glaucoma, to include bilateral dry eye syndrome.

The Veteran's appeal is remanded for further development, including obtaining an opinion on the nature and severity of her eye disability throughout the appeal period, the etiology of her visual field defect(s), and whether her service-connected iritis of the right eye, chorioretinal scar of the right eye, and angle closure glaucoma, to include bilateral dry eye syndrome, has required treatment by a provider specifically for treatment purposes.

The Board denied the Veteran's request for an earlier effective date of April 2012 for his right eye disability, as there is no evidence of a prior claim filed before April 25, 2014. The effective date was set at April 25, 2013 based on a liberalizing law.
