Granted
The Board granted an initial increase rating from 30 percent to 50 percent for the Veteran's migraine headaches based on evidence showing very frequent, completely prostrating, and prolonged attacks productive of severe economic inadaptability.
The deciding factor: The evidence was at least evenly balanced as to whether the Veteran's migraine headaches included very frequent, completely prostrating, and prolonged attacks, productive of severe economic inadaptability, meeting the criteria for a 50 percent rating throughout the appeal period.
