Granted
The Board granted a 30 percent disability rating for tension headaches prior to March 22, 2023, as the Veteran experienced prostrating attacks occurring on average once a month.
The deciding factor: The evidence supported that the Veteran had prostrating headaches at least monthly throughout the period, warranting a 30 percent rating; however, there was no evidence of very frequent, completely prostrating and prolonged attacks productive of severe economic inadaptability to support a higher rating.
