Partly granted
The Board granted a 10 percent rating for hypertension but denied an increased rating in excess of 80 percent for diabetic nephropathy.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's blood pressure readings predominantly met the criteria for a separate 10 percent rating, while his diabetic nephropathy did not meet the criteria for a higher rating.
