Granted
The Board granted a 50 percent rating for headaches, finding that the Veteran's symptoms were very frequent prostrating and prolonged attacks productive of severe economic inadaptability.
The deciding factor: The frequency, severity, and duration of the Veteran's headaches more closely approximated characteristic prostrating attacks occurring more often than once a month and productive of severe economic inadaptability.
