Granted
The maximum 50 percent disability rating for the Veteran's migraine headaches is granted based on a disability picture that more nearly approximates symptoms of very frequent completely prostrating and prolonged attacks productive of severe economic inadaptability.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's lay statements and testimony regarding his daily, blinding headaches and their impact on his ability to work supported the grant of the maximum 50 percent rating under Diagnostic Code 8100.
