The Veteran's migraine headaches are granted a 50 percent rating prior to October 30, 2017.,The Veteran's bilateral plantar fasciitis is granted separate 10 percent ratings for each foot under DC 5284.
The deciding factor: The Veteran’s very frequent and prolonged migraine headaches are productive of severe economic inadaptability (contemplated by the 50 percent rating).,The Veteran's bilateral plantar fasciitis is not manifested by objective deformity, pes cavus, hammertoe, marked pronation, swelling on use, characteristic calluses, or loss of use of either foot. Therefore, separate 10 percent ratings for each foot under DC 5284 are granted.
