Partly granted
The Veteran is granted a 10 percent rating for his service-connected hypertension based on a history of diastolic pressure predominantly 100 or more and requiring continuous medication for control. The remaining claims are remanded.
The deciding factor: The Board resolved doubt in favor of the Veteran, finding he has a history of diastolic pressure predominantly 100 or more and requires continuous medication for control, warranting a 10 percent rating under Diagnostic Code 7101. The other claims were remanded due to pre-decisional duty to assist errors.
