Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claim for a rating in excess of 30 percent for service-connected tension headaches, as the evidence did not support a higher rating.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's headaches were characterized by characteristic prostrating attacks occurring on average once a month, which met the criteria for a 30 percent rating but not for a higher 50 percent rating under DC 8100.
