Granted
The Board granted service connection for hypertension and an initial rating of 50 percent for headaches, resolving all doubt in the Veteran's favor.
The deciding factor: The evidence showed that the Veteran's hypertension had onset during service, and his headaches were very frequent completely prostrating and prolonged attacks productive of severe economic inadaptability.
