Partly granted
The Board granted the restoration of a 10 percent evaluation for service-connected hypertension effective February 28, 2024, but denied an earlier effective date prior to June 17, 2021.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's blood pressure readings and examination results did not demonstrate sustained improvement that warranted the reduction in rating.
