Partly granted
The Board granted a 50 percent rating for the Veteran's tension headaches, finding that they more nearly approximate very frequent completely prostrating and prolonged attacks productive of severe economic inadaptability.
The deciding factor: The VA examiner opined that the Veteran has 'completely prostrating and prolonged attacks' of headache pain, which are at least capable of resulting in severe economic inadaptability, as required for a 50 percent rating.
