Granted
The Board granted a 10 percent disability rating for hypertension, considering the Veteran's historical blood pressure readings and granting the benefit of the doubt.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's diastolic pressure was predominantly 100 or greater when not on medication, warranting a compensable rating under DC 7101.
