Partly grantedPACT Act
The veteran's claim for an initial compensable rating for hypertension was denied. Service connection for tension headaches as secondary to a service-connected psychiatric condition was granted. Claims for erectile dysfunction and gastroesophageal reflux disease were remanded.
The deciding factor: The decision on hypertension was based on the lack of predominantly high blood pressure readings; the grant for tension headaches was due to the veteran's credible testimony and medical evidence; the remands were due to inadequate VA examinations.
