Partly granted
The Board granted a noncompensable rating for migraine headaches from October 17, 2011, to December 1, 2019, and a 50 percent rating from December 2, 2019.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's migraine headaches did not meet the criteria for a compensable rating prior to December 2, 2019, but met the criteria for a 50 percent rating thereafter due to very frequent completely prostrating and prolonged attacks productive of severe economic inadaptability.
