Denied
The Board denied the veteran's claim for a rating higher than 50% for chronic migraine/tension headaches, stating that the 50% rating is the maximum schedular rating for this condition.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the Veteran did not present evidence or argument to support an increased rating and that the symptoms reported are already considered by the current 50% rating or compensated by other service-connected conditions.
