Denied
The Board denied a rating in excess of 10 percent for migraines as the evidence did not show characteristic prostrating attacks occurring on an average once a month or more over the last several months.
The deciding factor: The evidence showed that the Veteran's migraine headaches occurred with characteristic prostrating attacks averaging one in two months, which only met the criteria for a 10 percent rating under DC 8100.
