Partly granted
The Board granted a rating of 50 percent for migraines but denied an increased rating in excess of 70 percent for PTSD with alcohol use disorder and MDD.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's migraine symptoms were found to be very frequent completely prostrating and prolonged, productive of severe economic inadaptability. However, the evidence did not show that his PTSD with alcohol use disorder and MDD caused total social and occupational impairment.
