Granted
The Board granted an initial rating of 50 percent for service-connected migraine headaches throughout the entire period on appeal, as the Veteran experienced very frequent, completely prostrating, and prolonged attacks capable of producing severe economic inadaptability.
The deciding factor: The evidence showed that the Veteran's migraines were very frequent with prolonged attacks, which were productive of severe economic inadaptability despite ameliorative effects of medication.
