Partly granted
The Board granted an effective date of December 27, 2021, for the 50 percent rating for migraines but dismissed claims for earlier effective dates for service connection and initial ratings for irritable bowel syndrome.
The deciding factor: The evidence established that from December 27, 2021, the Veteran experienced migraines with very frequent, completely prostrating, and prolonged attacks productive of severe economic inadaptability, corresponding to the criteria for a 50 percent rating under DC 8100.
