Partly granted
The Board denied a compensable evaluation for hypertension but granted a total disability evaluation due to individual unemployability (TDIU) from February 7, 2025.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support a compensable evaluation for hypertension, while the Veteran's service-connected disabilities rendered him unable to secure and maintain substantially gainful employment.
