Remanded (sent back)
The Board denied a disability rating higher than 10 percent for service-connected hypertension and remanded several other claims, including those related to erectile dysfunction, left Achilles tendon rupture and repair, PTSD, TDIU, and SMC.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's blood pressure readings did not meet the criteria for a higher rating, and further development was needed for the other claims due to missing medical records and inadequate examinations.
