Denied
The Board denied the veteran's claim for an initial compensable disability rating for headaches, as there was no evidence of characteristic prostrating attacks averaging one in two months over a period of several months.
The deciding factor: The available evidence did not show that the veteran experienced headache episodes resulting in powerlessness or extreme exhaustion, which are required for a compensable rating under DC 8100.
