Granted
The Board granted an initial 50 percent rating for migraines, from April 20, 2021, based on the Veteran's characteristic prostrating attacks and severe economic inadaptability.
The deciding factor: The Veteran experienced very frequent completely prostrating headaches with prolonged attacks that were productive of severe economic inadaptability, meeting the criteria for a 50 percent rating under DC 8100.
