Partly granted
The veteran's migraine headaches rating was increased to 50% due to severe and frequent attacks, but the claim for folliculitis with scarring of the scalp was denied.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the Veteran's migraine headaches met the criteria for a 50 percent rating due to very frequent completely prostrating and prolonged attacks productive of severe economic inadaptability.
