Granted
The Board granted an initial rating of 30 percent for the Veteran's service-connected headaches, finding that they more closely approximated characteristic prostrating attacks occurring on average once a month over the last several months.
The deciding factor: The Veteran reported experiencing headaches with characteristics of prostrating attacks at least once a month, which caused significant functional impairment and economic impact, warranting a 30 percent rating under DC 8100.
