Partly granted
The Board granted a 50 percent rating for migraine headaches since April 20, 2022, and denied an increased rating for a gastric ulcer with chronic diarrhea.
The deciding factor: The evidence was in approximate balance regarding the severity of the Veteran's migraines, but not sufficient to support a higher rating for his gastric ulcer with chronic diarrhea.
