Partly granted
The veteran's claim for a higher rating for migraine headaches was denied. The claim for service connection for hypertension was remanded for further evaluation.
The deciding factor: The veteran's migraine headaches do not meet the criteria for a rating in excess of 30 percent, and an adequate VA examination is needed to determine service connection for hypertension.
