I see you're signed on. Maybe you can assist me with my inquiry.
Regarding my migraine headaches and the effective date. I wrote to the regional office to obtain a copy of my original C&P physical conducted in October 1996. To no surprise (to me) the notation from the physician clearly indicates "veteran has history of migraine headaches and received treatment in the military". The VA never assisted my in substaniated my claim during any of the previous claims until 2004 at which time they scheduled a QTC examination which states "the veterans migraines headaches more likely than not occured in the military service". Since I'm trying to win an earlier effective date should I file a NOD for the VA's failure to assist correct during 1996 thru 2005? I finally received service connection for my migraines last year. Or should I file a CUE claim?

Any information any one has would be appreciated.
