Denied
The Board denied service connection for hypertension as there was no evidence linking the condition to the Veteran's active duty service.
The deciding factor: The May 2024 VA examiner concluded that high blood pressure readings during service were not related to those taken after service, and there was no evidence of an in-service injury or event causing hypertension.
