Granted
The veteran's appeal for a higher rating for chronic headaches and for total disability based on individual unemployability (TDIU) was granted.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the veteran's chronic headaches meet the criteria for a 50 percent rating and that his service-connected disabilities rendered him unable to secure or maintain substantially gainful employment from April 30, 2009 to April 1, 2022.
