I have a question concerning headaches. I am rated for cluster headaches(10%). I have been having migraines 2 to 3 times a month and have been prescribed medication so it is now documented in my records. I have recently received my rating for PTSD and I am trying to figure out should I apply for and increase for my cluster headaches since I am already service connected or do I apply separately for migraines and s/c it to because of my PTSD? From what I have read all they fall under the same category.
I am working my headache log. Is there anything else I need to do?
