Partly granted
The Board granted an initial rating of 50 percent for migraines and remanded the issues related to GERD and a secondary psychiatric condition.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's migraine symptoms more nearly approximated very frequent completely prostrating and prolonged attacks productive of severe economic inadaptability, warranting a 50 percent rating under DC 8100. The other issues were remanded for further development.
