Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claim for an initial compensable rating for migraines including migraine variants as the evidence did not show characteristic prostrating attacks.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's migraines were found to occur with less frequent attacks, not meeting the criteria for a compensable rating under Diagnostic Code 8100.
