Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claim for a compensable rating for migraine headaches as there was no evidence of characteristic prostrating attacks or that cervical spine pain was caused by the migraines.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the Veteran did not experience characteristic prostrating attacks and there was no evidence linking cervical spine pain to his migraine headaches, thus a compensable rating is not warranted.
