Granted
The veteran's request for an increased rating of 50 percent for migraines was granted. The Board found that the veteran's migraines were very frequent, completely prostrating, and prolonged, causing severe economic inadaptability.
The deciding factor: The Board resolved all reasonable doubt in favor of the Veteran, finding that his migraine symptoms warranted a 50 percent rating based on their frequency and severity.
