Granted
The Board granted a 30 percent rating for migraine headaches, as the Veteran's headache symptomology is best approximated by characteristic prostrating attacks occurring an average of once a month over the last several months.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's headaches meet the criteria for a 30 percent rating under DC 8100 due to characteristic prostrating attacks occurring an average of once a month, despite some variability in severity and frequency reported by the Veteran.
