Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's appeal for a compensable initial rating for hypertension, as his blood pressure was not predominantly 100 diastolic or more, nor 160 systolic or more during the period on appeal.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's hypertension was well-controlled with medication and did not meet the criteria for a compensable rating under DC 7101.
