Partly granted
The Board granted an initial 30 percent rating for migraine headaches prior to December 5, 2016, and a 50 percent rating from May 31, 2024. The claims for increased ratings for Raynaud's syndrome and seborrheic dermatitis were denied.
The deciding factor: The severity of the Veteran's migraine headaches was found to meet the criteria for a higher rating at different times based on the frequency and duration of prostrating attacks, while her other conditions did not meet the criteria for a compensable rating.
