The Veteran's hypertension is granted a 10 percent rating, while his dental condition is denied a compensable rating. The claims for service connection for bilateral hearing loss and tinnitus are remanded.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the Veteran's hypertension meets the criteria for a 10 percent rating due to diastolic pressure predominantly 100 or more, while his dental condition does not meet the criteria for a compensable rating. The claims for service connection for bilateral hearing loss and tinnitus require further development.
