The Board granted a 50 percent disability rating for the Veteran's service-connected migraines due to very frequent completely prostrating and prolonged attacks productive of severe economic inadaptability.

The deciding factor: The Veteran experienced characteristic prostrating attacks more than once per month, which were described as completely prostrating and prolonged. These attacks impacted his ability to work significantly, leading to a 2-4 week loss of work time annually.
