Remanded (sent back)
The Board denied a rating in excess of 10 percent for hypertension and remanded the claims for increased ratings for residuals of CVA, deep vein thrombosis of the right lower extremity, basal cell carcinoma status post removals, and entitlement to TDIU.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's blood pressure readings did not meet the criteria for a higher rating, and additional medical evidence was needed to assess the severity of his service-connected conditions.
