Dismissed
The appeal as to service connection for migraines was dismissed because the November 2024 rating decision deferring entitlement to compensation for migraines was not an adjudicative determination by VA and the December 2024 appeal was premature.
The deciding factor: The Board does not have jurisdiction to review this claim as a deferred rating decision does not constitute an appealable adjudicative action.
