Denied
The Board denied service connection for hypertension as the evidence did not support a finding that it was incurred in or aggravated by active service, including exposure to contaminants at Camp Lejeune.
The deciding factor: The VA medical opinion and lack of onset within one year post-service were key factors in denying service connection.
