Partly granted
The Veteran's migraines including migraine variants with nausea are granted a rating of 50 percent, but no higher. Service connection for chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) is denied.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's migraines and associated symptoms meet the criteria for a 50 percent rating under DC 8100, while there is insufficient evidence to support a diagnosis of CFS that is related to service.
