Denied
The Board denied an initial compensable rating for the Veteran's tension headaches as there was no evidence of characteristic prostrating attacks averaging one in two months over the last several months.
The deciding factor: The VA examiner found that the Veteran did not experience characteristic prostrating attacks, which are necessary to warrant a compensable rating under the applicable criteria.
