Granted
The Board granted an initial evaluation of 10 percent for hypertension, as the evidence supports a history of diastolic pressure predominantly 100 or more requiring continuous medication for control.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's blood pressure readings and medical history support the criteria for a 10 percent rating under Diagnostic Code 7101, but do not show that he meets the criteria for a higher rating during the appeal period.
