Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's appeal for a higher initial rating for his service-connected migraine headaches, as the evidence did not support a finding of very frequent completely prostrating and prolonged attacks productive of severe economic inadaptability.
The deciding factor: The deciding factor was that while the Veteran experienced characteristic prostrating attacks averaging once per month, there was no evidence of very frequent completely prostrating and prolonged attacks productive of severe economic inadaptability.
