Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's appeal for a compensable rating for migraine headaches, finding that his symptoms did not meet the criteria for a 10 percent rating.
The deciding factor: The April 2022 VA examination report showed that the Veteran experienced less frequent attacks of migraines and did not have characteristic prostrating attacks averaging one in two months over the last several months, which is required for a compensable rating under DC 8100.
