Denied
The Board denied an evaluation in excess of 50 percent for PTSD and an evaluation in excess of 30 percent for migraine headaches based on the severity, frequency, and duration of symptoms.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's symptoms more closely approximate occupational and social impairment with reduced reliability and productivity rather than deficiencies in most areas.
