Granted
The veteran's initial disability rating for service-connected tension headaches is granted at 30 percent.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the veteran's headaches occur on average once a month and are closely analogous to characteristic prostrating attacks, warranting a 30 percent rating under DC 8100.
