The Board denied a compensable disability rating for the Veteran's hypertension and remanded an issue regarding a right lower extremity venous insufficiency.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support a compensable rating for hypertension as the blood pressure readings did not meet the criteria for a 10% rating, and there was no history of diastolic pressure predominantly 100 or more. The Board found that remand was necessary to correct an error in the October 2022 VA examination report regarding edema.
