Granted
The veteran's claim for an increased initial rating to 50 percent for migraine headaches was granted. The decision is based on the severity and frequency of the veteran's migraines.
The deciding factor: The Board concluded that the Veteran has had migraines with very frequent completely prostrating and prolonged attacks productive of severe economic inadaptability, corresponding to the criteria for a 50 percent rating under DC 8100.
