Partly granted
The Veteran was granted a 30 percent rating for tension headaches effective April 26, 2021, and a 50 percent rating from November 13, 2020.
The deciding factor: The evidence demonstrated the Veteran's tension headaches were very frequent, completely prostrating, prolonged, and productive of severe economic inadaptability as of November 13, 2020, but no earlier within the year preceding the April 26, 2021 claim for an increased rating.
