Denied
The Board denied an increased rating in excess of 30 percent for migraine headaches and denied an earlier effective date prior to March 18, 2022, for the grant of a 30 percent rating.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not show that the Veteran's migraines were productive of very frequent, completely prostrating headaches with prolonged attacks that are productive of severe economic inadaptability, as required for an increased disability rating of 50 percent at any time during the rating period.
