Partly granted
The Board denied an increased rating for the Veteran's left upper arm scar and remanded the claim for a new examination to evaluate the severity of his migraine headaches.
The deciding factor: The scar did not meet the criteria for a higher rating, while the current evidence was insufficient to determine the severity of the Veteran's migraines without considering medication effects.
