Granted
The Board granted an initial 10 percent rating for the Veteran's headache disability, finding that the evidence is in approximate balance on whether the Veteran's headache disability more nearly approximates characteristic prostrating attacks averaging one in two months over the last several months.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the Veteran's reported symptoms and the VA examiner's findings were in approximate balance, resolving all reasonable doubt in favor of the Veteran.
