Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claim for an initial compensable rating for her service-connected migraine unspecified without mention of intractable migraine.
The deciding factor: The Veteran did not have characteristic prostrating attacks of migraine/non-migraine headache pain during the appeal period, and therefore did not meet the criteria for a compensable rating under Diagnostic Code 8100.
