Granted
The Veteran's migraine headaches are granted a maximum 50 percent rating from December 17, 2015, due to very frequent completely prostrating and prolonged attacks productive of severe economic inadaptability.
The deciding factor: The evidence shows that the Veteran experienced characteristic prostrating attacks more frequently than once per month, which are productive of severe economic inadaptability, warranting a maximum 50 percent rating under DC 8100.
