Granted
The Veteran was granted a total disability rating based on individual unemployability (TDIU) and special monthly compensation due to his service-connected migraine tension headaches, effective January 25, 2023.
The deciding factor: The evidence shows the Veteran's migraines prevent him from performing the physical and mental acts required by employment, making it impossible for him to secure or follow a substantially gainful occupation.
