Partly granted
The Board denied an earlier effective date for the grant of service connection for migraine headaches but granted a 30 percent initial rating for headaches.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's headaches were not prostrating enough to warrant a higher rating, but they occurred at least once per month over several months, which met the criteria for a 30 percent rating.
