Granted
The veteran's service-connected headaches qualify for a 30% disability rating but not higher. The decision is based on the frequency and severity of the headaches.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's headaches more closely approximated characteristic prostrating attacks occurring on average once a month over the last several months, warranting a 30 percent rating under DC 8100.
