Granted
The Board granted an initial rating of 50 percent for tension headaches from April 27, 2006, to November 6, 2022.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's symptoms more nearly approximated the criteria for a 50 percent rating due to very frequent completely prostrating and prolonged attacks productive of severe economic inadaptability during the appeal period.
