The Board granted an initial 10 percent rating for migraine headaches, including migraine variants, and dismissed the appeal of service connection for insomnia disorder.
The deciding factor: The evidence supported characteristic prostrating attacks averaging one in two months, warranting a 10 percent rating. The Veteran's request for review regarding insomnia was prohibited due to an ongoing higher-level review request.
