Denied
The Board denied a compensable evaluation for post-traumatic headaches as the Veteran's symptoms did not meet the criteria for a 10 percent rating or higher.
The deciding factor: The VA examiner found that the Veteran's headaches did not exhibit characteristic prostrating attacks, which are necessary to assign a compensable evaluation under Diagnostic Code 8100.
