Denied
The Board denied the veteran's claims for increased ratings and remanded a claim for TDIU, finding that the evidence did not support higher ratings for his heart disability or hypertension.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's service-connected conditions did not meet the criteria for higher ratings due to insufficient evidence of symptoms or blood pressure readings required for such ratings.
