Granted
The Board granted an increased rating of 50 percent for tension headaches due to the Veteran's frequent, completely prostrating attacks that are productive of severe economic inadaptability.
The deciding factor: The Veteran experiences very frequent, completely prostrating and prolonged attacks of tension headache pain at least five to six times a month for periods of approximately four hours that result in absences from work, which meets the criteria for a 50 percent rating under Diagnostic Code 8100.
