Partly granted
The Board denied a compensable initial rating for hypertension and remanded the claims for service connection for cervical spine disorder, right carpal tunnel disorder, left carpal tunnel disorder, bilateral upper extremity varicose veins, and bilateral lower extremity varicose veins.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's blood pressure readings did not meet the criteria for a compensable rating under Diagnostic Code 7101. The claims for service connection were remanded due to the need for VA examinations.
