Aligned with VA migraine rating criteria
The VA migraine rating criteria shown here are for reference only. Your actual rating will be determined by the VA based on your VA examination and medical evidence. Track your migraines consistently to build a strong evidence record.
Migraines are rated based on the frequency of prostrating attacks (completely incapacitating, requiring bed rest):
"Prostrating" = so severe you MUST lie down and cannot function. Document this explicitly!
Track your migraines with severity, duration, and triggers to build evidence for VA claims.
A 50% migraine rating requires documented prostrating attacks. The difference between 30% and 50% is $200+/month.
