Partly granted
The Veteran's service-connected post-traumatic headaches are granted an increased rating of 50 percent, the schedular maximum. The other conditions were denied higher ratings.
The deciding factor: The evidence supports that the Veteran's post-traumatic headaches more closely approximate very frequent completely prostrating and prolonged attacks productive of severe economic inadaptability, warranting a 50 percent rating. Other conditions did not meet the criteria for increased ratings.
