Granted
The Board granted a 10 percent disability rating for hypertension, finding that the Veteran's diastolic blood pressure was predominantly 100 or more in the past.
The deciding factor: The evidence is in approximate balance that the Veteran's diastolic pressure was 'most frequent or common' at or above 100 in the 2016 and 2017 timeframe, warranting a 10 percent disability rating under DC 7101.
