Granted
The Veteran was granted an initial 10 percent rating for hypertension and a total rating for compensation based on individual unemployability (TDIU).
The deciding factor: The Board found that the Veteran's service-connected disabilities, including hypertension, prevented him from securing or following a substantially gainful occupation.
