Granted
The Board granted an initial disability rating of 10 percent for service-connected hypertension, as the evidence shows that the Veteran's hypertension requires continuous medication for control.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the fact that the Veteran's blood pressure readings more nearly approximate the criteria for a 10 percent rating under Diagnostic Code 7101.
