The Board granted a 30 percent rating for migraines including migraine variants, but remanded the claim for an increased rating for chronic right wrist sprain to include navicular bone fracture status post-surgical repair.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's symptoms more closely approximate characteristic prostrating attacks occurring on an average once a month over the last several months, which warrants a 30 percent rating under Diagnostic Code 8100. The claim for an increased rating for chronic right wrist sprain to include navicular bone fracture status post-surgical repair was remanded due to an inadequate VA examination.
