Partly granted
The Board granted an effective date of February 23, 2021, for the grant of service connection for migraine headaches and denied earlier effective dates for allergic rhinitis and chronic sinusitis. The Board also granted a 30 percent disability rating for migraines.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's claims were continuously pursued within one year of the final denial in November 2023, allowing an earlier effective date for migraine headaches but not for other conditions.
