Denied
The Board denied an initial rating in excess of 30 percent for the Veteran's service-connected headaches, as the evidence did not show that his attacks were very frequent and productive of severe economic inadaptability.
The deciding factor: The frequency of the Veteran's headaches was once per month, which does not meet the criteria for a higher rating under DC 8100.
