Partly granted
The veteran's appeal for an earlier effective date for a 50% rating of migraines was granted starting from July 20, 2021. The veteran's claim for an even earlier effective date was denied.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the Veteran's medical record indicated worsening migraine symptoms prior to filing the increased rating claim, justifying the earlier effective date.
