Denied
The Board denied an initial, compensable rating for migraines that are separate and distinct from the Veteran's service-connected sinusitis.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's migraine symptoms were found to be contemplated by his already service-connected sinusitis, and there was no evidence of very frequent completely prostrating and prolonged attacks productive of severe economic inadaptability.
