Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's appeal for an initial rating in excess of 30 percent for migraines, finding that his symptoms more closely approximate a 30 percent disability rating.
The deciding factor: The Veteran experienced characteristic prostrating attacks occurring on average once a month over the last several months, but did not meet the criteria for a higher 50 percent rating due to the frequency and duration of his migraines and their impact on work and daily living being only mild.
