Denied
The Board denied an initial evaluation in excess of 30 percent for the veteran's migraine headaches. The veteran did not experience very frequent, completely prostrating attacks that caused severe economic inadaptability.
The deciding factor: The evidence showed the veteran's migraines did not render him powerless or exhausted to the point of being unable to participate in regular daily activities.
