Partly granted
The appeal for a higher rating for hypertension was dismissed because the veteran withdrew the claim. The appeal for a higher rating for chronic kidney disease was denied because the evidence did not support a GFR of 44 mL/min/1.73 m2 or less.
The deciding factor: The veteran's withdrawal of the claim for hypertension and the lack of sufficient medical evidence for a higher rating for chronic kidney disease were the deciding factors.
