Partly granted
The Board granted an initial 50 percent rating for migraine headaches, effective February 13, 2023, but denied service connection for sleep disturbances.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's migraines were found to be very frequent, completely prostrating, and involving prolonged attacks productive of severe economic inadaptability, warranting a 50 percent rating. However, there was no evidence of a current sleep disturbance disability during the appeal period.
