Partly granted
The Board granted a 50 percent rating for the Veteran's headache disability, but remanded the issue of entitlement to service connection for a low back condition.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's headaches were found to more nearly approximate very frequent completely prostrating and prolonged attacks productive of severe economic inadaptability, warranting a 50 percent rating. The low back condition was remanded due to an inadequate VA examination.
