Denied
The Board denied the veteran's request for an earlier effective date for the increased ratings of 30 percent for migraine headaches and 10 percent for right foot plantar fasciitis, as no formal claim or written intent to file a claim was received prior to May 28, 2024.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not show an increase in the severity of the disabilities within one year prior to the Veteran's claim on May 28, 2024.
