Denied
The Board denied an increased rating for the Veteran's headache disability, finding that the evidence did not support a rating in excess of 30 percent prior to July 1, 2023.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's headaches were characterized as having characteristic prostrating attacks less frequently than once every two months and did not meet the criteria for a higher rating under Diagnostic Code 8100.
