Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for left foot hallux valgus and left foot bunionectomy scar with an effective date of August 25, 2022. An initial rating of 10 percent was assigned for allergic rhinitis.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's claim for service connection for tension headaches was not submitted prior to the August 28, 2023 intent to file and an earlier effective date is not warranted.
