Partly granted
The Board granted a rating of 50 percent for tension headaches beginning on April 13, 2022, but denied an increased rating in excess of 30 percent prior to that date.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's tension headaches were found to meet the criteria for a 50 percent rating due to very frequent completely prostrating and prolonged attacks productive of severe economic inadaptability beginning on April 13, 2022, but did not meet these criteria prior to that date.
