Partly granted
The Board granted an initial rating of 10 percent for hypertension, but denied an earlier effective date for the grant of service connection.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's hypertension required continuous medication and met the criteria for a 10 percent rating, but there was no evidence to support an earlier effective date for service connection.
