Granted
The veteran's rating for migraine headaches was increased to 50 percent due to very frequent, completely prostrating, and prolonged attacks that cause severe economic inadaptability.
The deciding factor: The Board concluded that the veteran's migraines meet the criteria for a 50 percent rating based on his own reports of symptoms and the frequency of his migraine attacks.
