Granted
The Board granted an initial rating of 30 percent for the Veteran's service-connected migraines, as they are productive of characteristic prostrating attacks occurring on average once a month over the last several months.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's migraines meet the criteria for a 30 percent rating under DC 8100 due to characteristic prostrating attacks occurring on an average of once a month without frequent completely prostrating and prolonged attacks productive of severe economic inadaptability.
