Partly granted
The Board granted a 30 percent rating for migraines effective November 20, 2019, but denied a compensable rating prior to that date.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's migraine attacks were not prostrating in nature prior to November 20, 2019, but began occurring at least once per month after that date, warranting the higher rating.
