Granted
The Board restored the 30% disability rating for migraines and the 20% disability rating for temporomandibular joint disorder (TMJ) as the reduction in evaluations was not factually warranted.
The deciding factor: The evidence of record does not show an improvement in the Veteran's disabilities or an enhancement in the Veteran's ability to function under ordinary conditions of life and work, thus the reduction was improper.
