Partly granted
The Board granted an earlier effective date of October 1, 2021, for service connection for migraine headaches and seizure disorder but denied the same for PTSD with TBI.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's claims were inextricably intertwined, and he was awarded the earliest possible effective date under the law for his PTSD with TBI. However, the Board granted an earlier effective date for his migraine headaches and seizure disorder due to their interrelated nature.
