Partly granted
The Board denied the veteran's claim for a higher rating for hypertension and remanded the issue of service connection for a left hip condition.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's hypertension did not manifest in diastolic pressure predominantly 110 or more, or systolic pressure predominantly 200 or more during the appeal period. The Board also remanded the claim for a left hip condition to correct a duty to assist error.
