Now that Claim to Reopen doesn't exist, should I file a supplemental claim, a legacy NOD, or a CUE?

Question

After finally getting my C-File, I'm pretty sure VA underrated me 11 years ago based on the detailed evidence from their c&p examination. 
 
Essentially, the VA decision said that I don't have prostrating migraines because I don't have emergency room or sick call visits for them. They conceded I'm a bit messed up from all the concussions and awarded 10% for "TBI to include migraines" despite having an in service migraine diagnosis with lots of follow up treatment and medications while still in service and to this day. 
 
Plus, the fact I that I just found out from the C-File that their C&P examiner said that I have prostrating migraines 4x per week with detailed notes about what they do to me.
 
I just heard that the VA stopped honoring claims to reopen so I'm unsure as to the best way to proceed for establishing an earlier effective date for a migraine rating. I also suspect that it's too late for them to honor the special TBI re-processing rules if the exam was not conducted by a neurologist (it was an internal medicine doctor).

I am sure they are part of God's plans Buck. It is very sad, what you mentioned here today.

Congress developed DIC in 1956. She certainly was eligible for it.

The 10,000 might have been the amount of  Servicemembers Life Insurance in those days.

My husband was with 1st MarDiv in Vietnam too.
