Dismissed
The Board dismissed the claims for an initial disability rating of 50 percent for migraines and an effective date prior to April 21, 2023, for a 50 percent disability rating.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support finding that the Veteran's migraines had manifested with characteristic prostrating attacks averaging one in two months over the last several months or worse prior to April 21, 2023.
