How the criteria work

50% · DC 8100, 50 percent

The whole wording matters: very frequent attacks, completely prostrating and prolonged attacks, and severe economic inadaptability. The row does not publish a numerical attack-count shortcut for this tier.

With very frequent completely prostrating and prolonged attacks productive of severe economic inadaptability

30% · DC 8100, 30 percent

This row combines characteristic prostrating attacks with an average of once a month over the last several months. Frequency alone omits the attack characteristic and observation period.

With characteristic prostrating attacks occurring on an average once a month over last several months

10% · DC 8100, 10 percent

This row combines characteristic prostrating attacks with an average of one in two months over the last several months.

With characteristic prostrating attacks averaging one in 2 months over last several months

0% · DC 8100, 0 percent

This row says less frequent attacks. It is still a published evaluation row, not a diagnosis or service-connection decision.
