Denied
The Board denied the veteran's claims for a higher rating and an earlier effective date for service connection for traumatic brain injury (TBI) and migraine headaches.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support a higher rating or an earlier effective date for either condition, as the current ratings accurately reflected the severity of the conditions based on the available medical evidence.
