Denied
The Board denied an effective date prior to August 10, 2022 for service connection for migraine headaches due to lack of continuous pursuit.
The deciding factor: There was no continuous pursuit following the original claim, and August 10, 2022 is the earliest effective date available under the PACT Act.
