Granted
The Board granted a higher disability rating of 50 percent for the Veteran's migraine headaches, as the evidence demonstrated that her headache disability was productive of very frequent completely prostrating and prolonged attacks with severe economic inadaptability.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's migraines were found to be more frequently prostrating and prolonged than required for a 30 percent rating, and the severity of her symptoms warranted a higher 50 percent rating under DC 8100.
