Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claims for an initial compensable rating for traumatic brain injury (TBI) and migraine, as there was no evidence of characteristic prostrating attacks averaging one in two months over the last several months.
The deciding factor: The lack of evidence showing characteristic prostrating attacks averaging one in two months over the last several months did not meet the criteria for a compensable rating under Diagnostic Codes 8045 and 8100.
