Partly granted
The Board granted a 10 percent rating for the Veteran's migraines and remanded claims for service connection for carpal tunnel syndrome and shin splints.
The deciding factor: The Veteran experienced less frequent migraine attacks that did not meet the criteria for a higher rating, but the Board resolved reasonable doubt in favor of the Veteran by granting a 10 percent rating. The other claims were remanded due to insufficient evidence.
