Remanded (sent back)
The Board denied an effective date prior to May 22, 2023, for TBI and remanded the claims for a compensable rating for TBI and a disability rating in excess of 30 percent for migraine headaches.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's TBI was directly related to service, but the effective date could not be earlier than May 22, 2023, due to the filing of an intent to file on that date. The claims for a compensable rating and higher disability rating were remanded for further medical evaluation.
