Granted
The Board granted an earlier effective date of August 21, 2018 for the 50 percent rating for migraine headaches and eligibility for Dependents' Educational Assistance.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's disability picture more nearly approximated very frequent completely prostrating and prolonged attacks productive of severe economic inadaptability throughout the period since his August 2018 intent to file, warranting a 50 percent rating under Diagnostic Code 8100 from August 21, 2018.
