Partly granted
The Veteran's migraine headaches were granted a rating of 50 percent, but no more. Other claims for service connection were denied or remanded.
The deciding factor: The evidence supported the granting of a 50 percent rating for migraines due to their frequency and impact on economic inadaptability, while other conditions lacked sufficient evidence linking them to active service.
