Partly granted
The Board denied a compensable disability rating for tension headaches but granted a 10 percent evaluation based upon multiple, noncompensable, service-connected disabilities from October 8, 2015, through September 6, 2016.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's tension headaches did not meet the criteria for a compensable rating due to the absence of prostrating attacks, but they interfered with his ability to work and thus qualified for a 10 percent evaluation under 38 C.F.R. § 3.324.
