The Board granted an initial 50 percent rating for the Veteran's service-connected adjustment disorder with insomnia disorder and remanded the issue of entitlement to service connection for migraine headaches.
The deciding factor: The severity, frequency, and duration of the Veteran's psychiatric symptoms have most closely approximated occupational and social impairment with reduced reliability and productivity, warranting an initial 50 percent rating. The Board also found that an adequate opinion regarding aggravation by a service-connected condition was not provided for the migraine headaches claim.
