NOTE 2: For VA purposes, the INITIAL diagnosis of hypertension or isolated systolic hypertension must be confirmed by readings taken 2 or more times on at least 3 different days. Blood pressure results may be obtained from existing medical records or through scheduled visits for blood pressure measurements.
Prepare for a CP Exam The VA will likely schedule a CP exam to assess your hypertension. During the exam, the healthcare provider will take your blood pressure and ask about your symptoms, treatments, and how your hypertension affects your daily life.
Ratings are determined through medical evaluations, including the extent of coronary artery blockage and the presence of symptoms like chest pain, shortness of breath, and fatigue. VA disability ratings for ischemic heart disease range from 10% to 100%, depending on the severity of the condition.
