Partly granted
The veteran's migraine headaches rating was increased to 50%. A separate evaluation for residuals of a TBI was granted. The request for a higher PTSD rating and a separate rating for TBI symptoms was remanded.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the severity and frequency of the veteran's migraines, the distinct nature of TBI symptoms, and the need for further evaluation of certain TBI residuals.
