Granted
The Board granted service connection for adjustment disorder with mixed anxiety and depressed mood, and an initial 30 percent rating for migraine headaches.
The deciding factor: The evidence supports a nexus between the Veteran's psychiatric symptoms during service and her current diagnosis of adjustment disorder with mixed anxiety and depressed mood. The frequency of her migraines also meets the criteria for a 30 percent rating under DC 8100.
