Granted
The Board granted service connection for an acquired psychiatric disability, a rating of 50 percent for migraines, and a rating of 30 percent for GERD.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's acquired psychiatric disorder was found to be secondary to her service-connected disabilities. The severity of the migraines and GERD met or exceeded the criteria for higher ratings based on the frequency and impact of symptoms reported by the Veteran.
