Partly granted
The Board denied a compensable rating for hypertension and remanded the claim for service connection for headaches due to an inadequate VA examination.
The deciding factor: The majority of blood pressure readings did not meet the criteria for a compensable rating, and the June 2024 VA examination was found inadequate to address secondary service connection for headaches.
