Dismissed
The appeal for a compensable rating for tension headaches was dismissed as the Board granted the highest available rating of 50 percent, which represents a full grant of benefits.
The deciding factor: The appeal is dismissed because the September 2025 Board decision effectively granted the Veteran's appeal by granting the highest available rating of 50 percent for tension headaches from the earliest effective date.
