Call your local VA and ask for the C&P department, ask if you have any pending or scheduled.

One thing that helped me get increased from 10% to 30% was keeping a migraine diary. Keep in mind increases can go back up to the past 12 months if you have proof. Familiarize yourself with the criteria for a higher rating.

§4.124a   Schedule of ratings—neurological conditions and convulsive disorders.

	Rating
8100   Migraine:
With very frequent completely prostrating and prolonged attacks productive of severe economic inadaptability	50
With characteristic prostrating attacks occurring on an average once a month over last several months	30
With characteristic prostrating attacks averaging one in 2 months over last several months	10
With less frequent attacks	0

I second Vync's recommendation of a migraine diary.  You can find may versions on the internet, I suggest the best one for you depending on the type.  I kept one of these for a year when I was first rated for migraines.  I am now rated at the max for migraines.

I am still waiting on a C&P exam to be scheduled.  BVA requested the RO schedule one in March 2019 so I have no been waiting as long as you. Good luck

Then go to your credit union and get the diary notarized every month. Because this shows that it was not made up over a weekend. You can get one of those elementary zebra Composition Books for a buck at the 99 cent store.
