Partly granted
The Board granted a separate 30 percent disability rating for homonymous hemianopsia and a 50 percent disability rating for migraine headaches, while denying an increased rating for hypertension. The Veteran was also granted a total disability rating based on individual unemployability.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's service-connected disabilities rendered him unable to obtain and maintain substantially gainful employment, warranting a TDIU. However, the evidence did not support a higher rating for his hypertension during the appeal period.
