Granted
The Board granted a schedular rating of 50 percent, but no higher, for migraine headaches due to the Veteran's very frequent completely prostrating and prolonged attacks productive of severe economic inadaptability.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's symptoms met the criteria for a 50 percent rating under DC 8100, as he experienced characteristic prostrating attacks occurring on average once a month over the last several months.
