The Veteran's claim for a headache condition was granted a 50 percent rating from January 22, 2014, and the claim for a rating in excess of 50 percent was denied.
The deciding factor: The Veteran experienced very frequent completely prostrating and prolonged attacks of headache symptoms productive of severe economic inadaptability from at least as early as January 22, 2014, which warranted a 50 percent rating. However, the maximum schedular rating under the applicable criteria was already being provided.
