The Veteran's migraines were granted a 30 percent rating prior to May 17, 2022, and a 50 percent rating from August 20, 2024. The claims for increased ratings in excess of 30 percent between those dates and for service connection for left knee disability and TDIU were remanded.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the Veteran's migraines met the criteria for a 30 percent rating prior to May 17, 2022, and a 50 percent rating from August 20, 2024, based on the frequency and severity of his attacks. The claims for increased ratings in excess of 30 percent between those dates and for service connection for left knee disability and TDIU were remanded due to insufficient evidence.
