The Board denied a rating in excess of 30 percent for migraine headaches and remanded claims for service connection for posttraumatic stress disorder and an initial increased rating for traumatic brain injury with generalized anxiety disorder.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's migraine headache attacks did not meet the criteria for a higher rating, as they were not very frequent completely prostrating and prolonged attacks productive of severe economic inadaptability. The claims for service connection and increased rating for traumatic brain injury with generalized anxiety disorder will be remanded for further development.
