Partly granted
The Board denied an initial evaluation in excess of 30 percent for service-connected migraine and remanded several other claims, including those for a bilateral eye disorder, right ankle strain, heart disorder, bilateral hearing loss, tinnitus, neck disorder, right foot disorder, left foot disorder, and entitlement to TDIU.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support a finding of very frequent completely prostrating and prolonged attacks productive of severe economic inadaptability for the migraine claim. The remands were due to inadequate medical opinions regarding causation or aggravation for several other claims.
