The Board granted a 30 percent rating for migraines but denied an increased rating for the right shoulder disability and service connection for left shoulder disability.

The deciding factor: The Veteran's headaches meet the criteria for a 30 percent rating, while his right shoulder disability does not warrant a higher rating based on the evidence of record.
