Partly granted
The Board granted a 50 percent disability rating for migraine headaches and dismissed the claims for earlier effective dates of TDIU and DEA.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's migraines were found to be productive of severe economic inadaptability, warranting a 50 percent rating. The claims for earlier effective dates were dismissed as they had already been adjudicated by the Board in January 2024.
