Partly granted
The veteran's 50 percent rating for migraine headaches was restored. The claim for TDIU from August 30, 2021, was dismissed as moot due to a 100 percent disability rating for Hashimoto's. A TDIU was granted from February 1, 2021, to July 31, 2021.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the severity and frequency of the veteran's migraine headaches and their impact on employability.
