Denied
The Board denied an increased rating in excess of 30 percent for the Veteran's service-connected migraines, including migraine variants and tension headaches.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not persuasively show that the Veteran's migraines were manifested by very frequent completely prostrating and prolonged attacks productive of severe economic inadaptability, which are required for a 50 percent rating under Diagnostic Code 8100.
