Partly granted
The Board granted a 50 percent rating for migraine headaches from February 15, 2022, but denied a compensable rating prior to that date.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's symptoms of migraines have been described as characteristic prostrating attacks occurring on an average of once a month over the last several months and productive of severe economic inadaptability, which is the maximum rating under the applicable Diagnostic Code.
