Partly granted
The Board denied service connection for hypertension and remanded the claim for tinnitus. The Veteran was granted an initial rating of 10 percent for neuropathy of the left lower extremity.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the lack of a current diagnosis of hypertension, while the neuropathy met the criteria for moderate incomplete paralysis.
