Granted
The Board granted a staged disability rating of 30 percent for the service-connected migraine headaches, effective September 14, 2023.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's assertions and lay evidence starting in September 2023 showed characteristic prostrating attacks occurring on an average once a month over a several-month period, warranting a higher rating under Diagnostic Code 8100.
