Remanded (sent back)
The Board denied a rating in excess of 10 percent for hypertension and remanded the claims for increased ratings for stroke residuals, earlier effective dates for service connection, and special monthly compensation.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support a higher rating for hypertension or an earlier effective date for service connection based on the available medical records and opinions.
