Partly granted
The Veteran's headaches were granted a rating of 50 percent from March 18, 2024. The claims for increased ratings for PTSD, temporomandibular joint syndrome, and neuropathy, deformity, right upper extremity were denied.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the Veteran's headaches met the criteria for a 50 percent rating due to very frequent, completely prostrating, and prolonged attacks productive of severe economic inadaptability. The other claims did not meet the necessary criteria for increased ratings.
