Partly granted
The Board granted a 50 percent evaluation for migraine headaches since December 1, 2022, and denied an evaluation in excess of 30 percent prior to that date. The Board also remanded the claim for a total disability evaluation based upon individual unemployability due to service-connected disabilities.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's migraine headaches have been manifested by very frequent completely prostrating and prolonged attacks productive of severe economic inadaptability since December 1, 2022, warranting a 50 percent rating. Prior to that date, the criteria for a higher rating were not met.
