The Board granted a disability rating of 30 percent for chronic tension headaches but remanded the claim for service connection for sleep disturbances.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's headache symptoms met the criteria for a 30 percent rating, but no higher, as they caused characteristic prostrating attacks occurring on average once a month over the last several months. The Board remanded the claim for a Gulf War examination to address the service connection issue for sleep disturbances.
