Granted
The Board granted an initial disability rating of 10 percent for hypertension and 30 percent for bowel impairment, residual of cerebrovascular infarction.
The deciding factor: The evidence supported the Veteran's claims based on his history of blood pressure readings and occasional involuntary bowel movements, which met the criteria for the assigned ratings under the applicable diagnostic codes.
