Granted
The veteran's migraine headaches have been rated at 50% due to their frequency, severity, and economic impact. A separate rating for left eye ocular pain was not granted as it is considered part of the migraine condition.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the Veteran's migraines are very frequent, completely prostrating, and prolonged attacks productive of severe economic inadaptability.
