Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claim for a compensable rating for a headache disorder as the evidence did not show characteristic prostrating attacks occurring on average more frequently than one in two months over the last several months.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's headaches do not meet the criteria for a compensable rating under DC 8100, as they do not produce characteristic prostrating attacks averaging one in two months over the past several months.
