Granted
The Board granted a 50 percent rating for the Veteran's service-connected migraine headaches, finding that they meet the criteria for very frequent completely prostrating and prolonged attacks productive of severe economic inadaptability.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's headache frequency and severity were found to meet or exceed the criteria for a 50 percent rating under DC 8100, as his headaches are described as very frequent, completely prostrating, and prolonged, with symptoms that impact his ability to perform daily activities and work.
