The Board granted a disability rating of 50 percent for migraine headaches and denied entitlement to a total disability rating based on individual employability due to a service-connected disability.
The deciding factor: The evidence showed that the Veteran experienced very frequent completely prostrating and prolonged attacks productive of severe economic inadaptability, warranting a 50 percent rating. However, there was insufficient evidence to support a finding of unemployability by reason of his service-connected disability.
