Denied
The Board denied an initial rating in excess of 10 percent for migraine headaches as the evidence did not support a higher rating.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's headache condition was found to have characteristic prostrating attacks averaging one in two months, which does not meet the criteria for a higher rating under Diagnostic Code 8100.
