Granted
The veteran is granted an initial rating of 30 percent for migraine headaches starting from February 26, 2023. The decision is based on the veteran's characteristic prostrating attacks occurring once or twice per month.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the veteran's migraines caused him to leave work early at least until the next morning no more than a couple times per month, warranting a 30 percent rating but not higher.
