Partly granted
The Board reinstated the veteran's 30% disability rating for tension headaches effective January 1, 2022. The claim for a higher rating is remanded for further evaluation.
The deciding factor: The reduction was based on an incomplete examination that did not show actual improvement in the Veteran's ability to function.
