Partly granted
The Board granted an increase in the rating for migraine headaches to 70 percent and hypertension to 10 percent, but remanded the claim for service connection of diabetes mellitus.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's symptoms met the criteria for a higher rating due to their severity and impact on economic adaptability. The Board found that the evidence was not sufficient to establish a direct link between the Veteran's service-connected PTSD and his diabetes mellitus, necessitating further examination.
