Dismissed
The Board dismissed the veteran's appeals for an earlier effective date and increased rating for migraine headaches due to previous final decisions. The appeal for TDIU was also dismissed as moot.
The deciding factor: The Board found that previous decisions on these issues were final and not appealed, making them barred by res judicata.
