Denied
The Board denied the claims for clear and unmistakable error in a December 12, 2002 rating decision regarding migraine headaches, an earlier effective date for TBI service connection, and an increased initial disability rating for TBI.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not clearly and unmistakably establish that the Veteran's symptoms warranted a higher disability rating or an earlier effective date for TBI service connection.
