Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claims for an earlier effective date for a 30 percent rating for headaches/migraines and service connection for shin splints.
The deciding factor: The evidence of record does not support a current diagnosis of shin splints, and the Veteran did not file an appropriate form to seek administrative review within one year of the August 2020 rating decision.
