hypertension Hypertension(high Blood Pressure)
AFRetired replied to vet201060's question in VA Disability Claims Research
I just received my rating...hypertension rated 0%. I have BP which hoovers around 140/98...so no 100 or more Diastolic. I am taking medication now due to doctor's recommendation which brought it down to 130/80s. To receive higher rating, does the readings have to be 100+ WITH medication? I am thinking with med increase as the time goes it probably will never go higher...unless I am close to heaven. The rating was given before I started the medication.
