Granted
The Board granted a disability rating of 50 percent for migraines, as the Veteran's headaches are completely prostrating and prolonged, occurring more than twice per month, resulting in severe economic inadaptability.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the evidence supported a 50 percent rating based on the frequency and severity of the Veteran's migraine attacks, which caused him to miss up to four weeks of work annually.
