Granted
The Board granted a 50 percent rating for the Veteran's service-connected tension headaches, as the evidence demonstrated very frequent completely prostrating and prolonged attacks productive of severe economic inadaptability.
The deciding factor: The Veteran experienced characteristic prostrating attacks occurring on an average once a month over the last several months, which met the criteria for a 50 percent rating under DC 8100.
