The Veteran's tension headaches are granted a maximum 50 percent rating effective January 30, 2022.
The deciding factor: The evidence of record directly contradicts the examiners' findings about prostrating attacks and shows that the Veteran experiences severe headaches more than one a month which prevent him from working when he is actively experiencing a headache, consistent with very frequent completely prostrating and prolonged attacks productive of severe economic inadaptability.
