Granted
The Board granted the appeal and restored the 20 percent rating for hypertension, effective January 23, 2025, as the reduction was improper.
The deciding factor: The January 2025 VA examination report was inadequate and lacked probative value in determining improvement in the Veteran's hypertension symptoms under normal daily conditions.
