Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's appeal for an increased disability rating for hypertension in excess of 10 percent, as the evidence did not support a higher rating. The claim for TDIU prior to August 8, 2023 was remanded.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's blood pressure readings did not meet the criteria for a higher rating under Diagnostic Code 7101, and there was no evidence of dizziness or other symptoms that would warrant a separate rating for his hypertension.
