Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's appeal for a rating in excess of 30 percent for migraine headaches, as the evidence did not show very frequent prostrating and prolonged attacks productive of severe economic inadaptability.
The deciding factor: The August 2023 VA examiner opined that the Veteran's migraines did not result in completely prostrating and prolonged attacks of migraine pain, which is required for a higher rating.
