The Board granted an initial disability rating of 30 percent for tension headaches and a total rating based on individual unemployability (TDIU) due to service-connected disabilities.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's tension headaches have characteristic prostrating attacks occurring more than once every month, warranting a 30 percent rating. The Veteran's service-connected disabilities prevent him from obtaining and maintaining employment consistent with his occupational and vocational experience, warranting TDIU.
