Granted
The veteran's appeal for a higher disability rating for migraine headaches was granted. The Board found that the veteran's migraines were very frequent, completely prostrating, and prolonged, leading to severe economic inadaptability.
The deciding factor: The Board concluded that the veteran's migraine attacks met the criteria for a 50 percent rating due to their frequency, severity, and impact on his ability to work.
