The Board denied a compensable rating for hypertension and remanded the claims for service connection for brain tumor, left eye tumor, and sleep apnea.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's blood pressure readings have not predominantly been higher than 100 with regards to diastolic pressure, and there is no evidence of diastolic pressure predominantly 110 or more; or systolic pressure predominantly 200 or more for a 20 percent rating; diastolic pressure predominantly 120 or more for a 40 percent rating or diastolic pressure predominantly 130 or more for a 60 percent rating.
