Granted
The Board granted an initial 50 percent maximum schedular rating for the Veteran's migraine headache disability, resolving any reasonable doubt in favor of the Veteran.
The deciding factor: The Veteran experienced very frequent, completely prostrating and prolonged attacks productive of severe economic inadaptability, meeting the criteria for a 50 percent rating under DC 8100.
