Granted
The Board granted an increased rating of 30 percent for the Veteran's tension headaches, effective March 23, 2022.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's lay statements and a private opinion supported his claim, leading to a finding that he experiences characteristic prostrating attacks once a month, warranting a 30 percent rating under DC 8100.
