Denied
The Board denied the veteran's claim for an initial compensable evaluation for migraine headaches prior to September 17, 2019. The decision was based on the lack of evidence showing characteristic prostrating attacks averaging one in two months over the last several months before that date.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the veteran's headaches did not meet the criteria for a compensable evaluation prior to September 17, 2019.
