Denied
The Board denied a compensable disability rating for ocular migraines as the evidence did not show characteristic prostrating attacks averaging one in 2 months over the last several months.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's headaches were determined to be less frequent and not prostrating, failing to meet the criteria for a compensable rating under DC 8100.
