Granted
The Board granted an increased initial disability rating of 50 percent for migraine headaches, as the Veteran's symptoms were productive of very frequent completely prostrating and prolonged attacks.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's symptoms met the criteria for a 50 percent rating under DC 8100, considering the frequency and severity of her migraines and their impact on economic inadaptability.
