Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claim for a compensable disability rating for migraines as there were no characteristic prostrating attacks. The claim for a compensable disability rating for dementia was remanded due to non-compliance with prior remand instructions.
The deciding factor: The Veteran did not experience characteristic prostrating attacks of headache pain, which are required for a compensable rating under the applicable criteria.
