Partly granted
The Board granted a 10 percent rating for posttraumatic headaches as of April 22, 2024, but denied an initial compensable rating prior to that date.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's posttraumatic headaches were found to more closely approximate characteristic prostrating attacks averaging one in two months over the prior several months as of April 22, 2024, warranting a 10 percent rating. Prior to this date, his symptoms did not meet the criteria for a compensable rating.
