Partly granted
The Veteran was granted an initial 30 percent rating for a disfigurement of the face due to Parry Romberg syndrome and an April 12, 2013, effective date for service connection and a noncompensable rating for headaches NOS.
The deciding factor: The evidence showed two characteristics of disfigurement on the Veteran's face during the period on appeal, warranting a 30 percent rating under Diagnostic Code 7800. The April 12, 2013, claim was found to be new and material, allowing for an earlier effective date.
