Partly granted
The Board denied an initial compensable rating for hypertension and a higher disability rating for migraines prior to May 1, 2023, but granted a 30 percent rating from that date onward.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's blood pressure readings did not meet the criteria for a compensable rating of 10 percent or greater, while his migraine attacks met the criteria for a 30 percent rating starting May 1, 2023.
