Partly granted
Service connection for the eye condition is granted. The request for an earlier effective date for service connection of headaches is denied.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the Veteran's eye condition began during active duty and has continued, but there was no formal claim or intent to file a claim for headaches before December 29, 2021.
