Granted
The Board granted a 50 percent disability rating for the Veteran's migraines, resolving reasonable doubt in his favor and discounting the ameliorative effects of his medications.
The deciding factor: The Veteran experienced very frequent completely prostrating attacks productive of severe economic inadaptability prior to using his medications, meeting the criteria for a 50 percent rating under Diagnostic Code 8100.
