Partly granted
The Board granted restoration to a 30 percent rating for migraine including migraine variants and tension headaches, but denied increased ratings for other conditions.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not show that the Veteran's migraines had improved to the extent that a reduction in rating was warranted. For other conditions, there was insufficient evidence of disability severity to warrant higher ratings.
