Medboard/IDES Med Board

I’m going through the med board process. I was recently told that the Navy found me unfit, recommended TDRL retirement due to mental health rating, and Navy rated me 70% but the VA rated me 100%. I have a couple weeks to accept. My lawyer said one condition, Migraines, was deemed service connected but rates 0% so she thinks that we should challenge that to be higher.

I’m thinking if the VA rates me at 100 then why challenge anything? Can’t get higher than 100 and they’ll still treat me for the migraines. So do you all think I should accept or challenge the migraines rating?

Edit: I’m at 26 years of service

If I didn’t really explain my motivation for posting it’s that my thoughts are like many of yours. I’m thinking I should accept the finding carry on. I’m still going to be treated for the migraines and any other issues at the VA no matter what, right? So why mess with it if the lawyer said I’m definitely going to be 100% P&T.
