Granted
The Board granted an initial 10 percent rating for the Veteran's hypertension, as it requires continuous medication but does not meet criteria for a higher rating.
The deciding factor: The evidence of record supports a 10 percent rating due to the need for continuous medication, but there is no evidence showing diastolic pressure predominantly 110 or more, or systolic pressure predominantly 200 or more.
