Partly granted
The Board granted effective dates of May 31, 2023, for the awards of a 10 percent disability rating for rhinitis and a 50 percent disability rating for migraines. The award of service connection for urinary incontinence was denied an earlier effective date.
The deciding factor: The Board resolved reasonable doubt in favor of the Veteran's claims by finding that his conditions met the criteria for higher ratings during the appeal period, thus granting the effective dates requested.
