Partly granted
The veteran's increased disability rating for migraines was granted an earlier effective date of January 28, 2022. However, the request for a higher rating beyond 30% and changes to the psychiatric disability rating were denied.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the evidence showing the veteran's migraine condition worsened to a 30% rating level starting from January 28, 2022.
