Denied
The Board denied an effective date earlier than April 1, 2021, for the award of service connection for migraine including migraine variants, cluster due to TBI and denied a rating in excess of 30 percent for the Veteran's migraine including migraine variants, cluster due to TBI.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not show very frequent, completely prostrating, and prolonged attacks productive of severe economic inadaptability, which would warrant a higher rating.
