Granted
The Board granted an initial rating of 10 percent for hypertension, resolving reasonable doubt in favor of the Veteran.
The deciding factor: The evidence established that it is at least as likely as not that the Veteran's hypertension resulted in diastolic blood pressure of predominantly 100 mm/Hg or more, or systolic blood pressure of predominately 160 mm/Hg or more during the appeal period.
