The Veteran's impotency (erectile dysfunction) is service-connected as secondary to his service-connected depression, and he is assigned a 30 percent rating for his migraine headaches.
The deciding factor: Service connection was granted for erectile dysfunction due to the relationship with his service-connected depression. The migraine headache rating was increased from 10 percent to 30 percent based on the frequency of prostrating attacks.
