Denied
The Board denied a compensable rating prior to January 18, 2019, and a rating in excess of 30 percent from that date for the Veteran's service-connected migraines.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not show characteristic prostrating attacks averaging one in two months over a period of several months or very frequent completely prostrating and prolonged attacks productive of severe economic inadaptability, as required by the rating criteria.
