Partly granted
The Board denied an increased rating for PTSD and migraines, granted service connection for migraines with an effective date of October 12, 2014, but remanded claims for TDIU and special monthly compensation.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's symptoms did not meet the criteria for a higher rating due to their frequency and severity, and the evidence was insufficient to support an earlier effective date or increased rating for migraines associated with traumatic brain injury.
