Partly granted
The Veteran's migraine headaches are rated as 10 percent disabling, and the claims for service connection for right knee osteoarthritis, left knee osteoarthritis, a back disability, and bilateral lower extremity peripheral nerve condition are remanded.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's headache symptoms meet the criteria for a 10 percent rating under Diagnostic Code 8100. The claims for service connection require further development due to inadequate medical opinions provided by VA examiners.
