The Board restored the 30% rating for service-connected migraine headaches, including variants, and denied an increased disability rating of more than 30%.

The deciding factor: The evidence did not show improvement in the Veteran's condition to warrant a reduction from 30% to 0%, and there was no indication of very frequent completely prostrating and prolonged attacks productive of severe economic inadaptability to support an increased rating.
