The Board denied service connection for jaw, bilateral hip, and left foot disabilities but granted a 50 percent rating for migraine headaches.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support the presence of current disabilities related to the claimed conditions during or approximate to the pendency of the claims, except for the granted 50 percent rating for migraine headaches due to the disability picture more closely approximating very frequent completely prostrating and prolonged attacks productive of severe economic inadaptability.
