The Veteran's migraine headache disability is granted a 30 percent rating from March 24, 2021. The bilateral plantar fasciitis remains at a 10 percent rating. The left hip disability is denied.
The deciding factor: The VA examiner found that the Veteran experienced characteristic prostrating attacks of headache pain once monthly after discontinuing injectable medication for her migraines, warranting a 30 percent rating from March 24, 2021 onwards. The bilateral plantar fasciitis remains at a 10 percent rating as no relief was achieved with both non-surgical and surgical treatment.
