Partly granted
The Board granted a higher disability rating of 50 percent for migraine headaches, as well as individual unemployability and special monthly compensation.
The deciding factor: The evidence showed that the Veteran's migraines were very frequent, completely prostrating, and productive of severe economic inadaptability, meeting the criteria for a 50 percent disability rating under DC 8100.
