Granted
The Board granted an initial compensable rating of 10 percent for hypertension and a 50 percent increased rating for tension headaches.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's blood pressure readings met the criteria for a minimum evaluation, and his tension headaches were productive of very frequent completely prostrating and prolonged attacks productive of severe economic inadaptability.
