Denied
The Board denied an initial compensable rating for migraines because the veteran's headaches did not meet the criteria for a compensable rating.
The deciding factor: The evidence showed that the veteran's migraines occurred with less frequent attacks, which does not meet the criteria for a compensable rating under DC 8100.
