The Board denied an initial compensable rating for migraines and remanded the claims for service connection for an acquired psychiatric disorder and bilateral pes planus.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's migraines are not manifested by characteristic prostrating attacks averaging one in two months over the last several months, thus a compensable rating is not warranted. The claim for service connection for an acquired psychiatric disorder and bilateral pes planus was remanded for further development.
