Denied
The Board denied an initial disability rating in excess of 30 percent for the Veteran's service-connected migraine headaches, as the evidence did not show completely prostrating and prolonged attacks productive of severe economic inadaptability.
The deciding factor: The Veteran experienced characteristic prostrating attacks occurring on average once a month, which met the criteria for a 30 percent rating but not the higher 50 percent rating required for very frequent completely prostrating and prolonged attacks productive of severe economic inadaptability.
