Granted
The Veteran's claim for a compensable initial disability rating of 10 percent, but no higher, for hypertension is granted.
The deciding factor: The evidence shows that the Veteran's hypertension requires him to take continuous medication for control and has a history of diastolic blood pressure elevation to predominantly 100 or more.
