Partly granted
The Veteran's migraines were rated at 50 percent effective September 1, 2021, due to very frequent completely prostrating and prolonged attacks productive of severe economic inadaptability.
The deciding factor: The evidence showed that the Veteran experienced characteristic prostrating attacks once every month over the last several months, which met the criteria for a 50 percent rating under Diagnostic Code 8100.
