Partly granted
The Board granted earlier effective dates for the service-connected PTSD, TBI, and TDIU but denied earlier effective dates for the migraine headaches, petit mal epilepsy with vertigo, and hypertension.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the date of receipt of the Veteran's intent to file a claim and subsequent application for compensation within one year, as well as the criteria for assigning disability ratings.
