Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for right and left knee degenerative arthritis, as well as an increased disability rating of 10 percent for hypertension.
The deciding factor: The evidence is approximately evenly balanced as to whether the Veteran's right and left knee degenerative arthritis are related to his active duty service. For hypertension, a history of diastolic pressure predominantly 100 or more with continuous medication for control was established.
