Granted
The Board granted an increased disability rating of 50 percent for tension headaches, as the Veteran experienced very frequent completely prostrating and prolonged attacks productive of severe economic inadaptability.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's headache symptoms met the criteria for a 50 percent rating under Diagnostic Code 8100 due to their frequency, severity, and impact on his ability to work.
