Partly granted
The Veteran's hypertension has been granted a 10 percent disability rating, but no higher, from September 17, 2024. The claim for service connection for a separate disability secondary to hypertension is being remanded.
The deciding factor: The evidence supports the minimum evaluation for an individual with a history of diastolic pressure predominantly 100 or more who requires continuous medication for control.
