Partly granted
The Veteran was granted a 50 percent rating for his migraine headaches from March 23, 2018, but the claim for an increased rating to more than 50 percent from September 17, 2024, was denied.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's description of his symptoms and the VA examinations supported a 50 percent rating, but not higher, due to prostrating attacks occurring more than once a month.
