The Board granted a 50 percent rating for migraines and denied TDIU, while remanding the claim for service connection of a left ankle condition.
The deciding factor: The evidence supported very frequent completely prostrating and prolonged attacks productive of severe economic inadaptability, warranting a 50 percent rating. However, there was not enough evidence to show that the Veteran's service-connected disabilities rendered him unable to secure and follow a substantially gainful occupation.
