Partly granted
The Veteran's claim for an earlier effective date for service connection for migraines was granted from October 1, 2019. The claims for service connection for cirrhosis of liver and hepatitis C were remanded.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the continuous pursuit by the Veteran of his claim for migraines since October 1, 2019, which is earlier than the effective date initially assigned in November 6, 2021.
