Denied
The Board denied service connection for cognitive function impairment and memory loss, secondary to the Veteran's service-connected migraine. The Board also denied an earlier effective date for a 100 percent rating of PTSD.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support separate diagnoses for cognitive and memory-related conditions that are distinct from the symptoms of the Veteran's service-connected PTSD and migraine.
