Denied
The Board denied a rating in excess of 50 percent for migraine, including migraine variants, associated with TBI with vertigo as the Veteran already has the maximum schedular disability rating.
The deciding factor: There is no increase in severity within the look back period and the Veteran's symptoms do not meet the criteria for a higher rating under Diagnostic Code 8100.
