Granted
The Board granted a disability rating of 50 percent for migraines, the maximum schedular rating, based on very frequent completely prostrating and prolonged attacks productive of severe economic inadaptability.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's migraine symptoms satisfied the criteria for a 50 percent rating under DC 8100 without considering the ameliorative effects of medication.
