Granted
The Board granted a compensable rating of 10 percent for migraines, discounting the ameliorative effects of medication.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's headaches meet the criteria for a 10 percent rating under DC 8100 as they have characteristic prostrating attacks averaging one in two months over the last several months.
