Granted
The Veteran was granted an initial rating of 50 percent for migraine headaches including migraine variants, effective from April 21, 2022.
The deciding factor: Throughout the review period, the Veteran experienced very frequent completely prostrating and prolonged attacks productive of severe economic inadaptability, which meets the criteria for a 50 percent rating under DC 8100.
