Granted
The Board granted an increased initial rating of 50 percent for headaches based on the Veteran's very frequent completely prostrating and prolonged attacks that are productive of severe economic inadaptability.
The deciding factor: The August 2024 VA examination, February 2023 private opinion, and the Veteran's lay statements supported the finding that his headache condition meets the criteria for a 50 percent rating.
