Partly granted
The veteran's request for a higher rating for lumbosacral strain was denied. The appeal for service connection for hypertension was dismissed.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support a higher rating for lumbosacral strain, and the appeal for hypertension was improperly docketed.
