Partly granted
The Veteran's service-connected migraine headaches were denied a rating greater than 50 percent, while specially adapted housing was granted due to the loss of use of both lower extremities.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's symptoms are fully contemplated by his 50 percent rating under DC 8100 and there is no evidence or argument that he has had frequent periods of hospitalization due to migraines, or that it is impractical to apply the regular schedular standards of DC 8100.
