Partly granted
The Board granted a maximum 50 percent rating for the Veteran's migraine headaches from January 12, 2023, due to very frequent completely prostrating and prolonged attacks productive of severe economic inadaptability.
The deciding factor: The Veteran experienced characteristic prostrating attacks more than once a month, which met the criteria for a 50 percent rating under Diagnostic Code 8100.
