Granted
The Board granted restoration of entitlement to basic eligibility for Dependents' Educational Assistance (DEA) benefits, a total disability rating based on individual unemployability (TDIU), and reinstatement of the 50 percent rating for migraine headaches.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not show an actual improvement in the Veteran's migraine headaches necessitating a reduction in his rating, thus the reduction was improper.
