Denied
The Board denied an initial rating in excess of 30 percent for migraines as the evidence did not show very frequent completely prostrating and prolonged attacks productive of severe economic inadaptability.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's migraine headaches were found to occur daily with symptoms analogous to characteristic prostrating attacks occurring less than once a month, which was insufficient to warrant a higher rating under DC 8100.
