Partly granted
The Board granted a 50 percent rating for the Veteran's migraine headaches as of March 5, 2025, but denied an initial rating in excess of 50 percent prior to that date.
The deciding factor: The Veteran experienced very frequent completely prostrating and prolonged attacks productive of severe economic inadaptability, warranting a maximum schedular rating of 50 percent under Diagnostic Code 8100.
