The Board denied a rating in excess of 30 percent for migraine headaches prior to June 15, 2022, and granted a 50 percent rating from that date.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's migraine headaches were characterized by prostrating attacks occurring on an average of once per month prior to June 15, 2022, which did not meet the criteria for a higher rating. From June 15, 2022, his symptoms more nearly approximated very frequent completely prostrating and prolonged attacks productive of severe economic inadaptability.
