Granted
The Board grants an initial, 30 percent disability rating for the Veteran's service-connected migraine headaches from February 7, 2017.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's migraines have more nearly approximated characteristic prostrating attacks occurring on an average once a month since the beginning of the appeal period, warranting a 30 percent rating under Diagnostic Code 8100.
