Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claim for a compensable rating for migraines, as the evidence did not show characteristic prostrating attacks averaging one in 2 months over the last several months.
The deciding factor: Based on the December 2024 VA examination and the Veteran's reports, his symptoms correspond to the criteria for a noncompensable rating under DC 8100.
