Partly granted
The Board granted a 50 percent rating for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) but denied an initial compensable rating for migraine headaches.
The deciding factor: For the PTSD, the Veteran's symptoms caused occupational and social impairment with reduced reliability and productivity. For the migraine headaches, there were no characteristic prostrating attacks as required for a compensable rating.
