Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's appeal for an initial rating higher than 10 percent for service-connected hypertension as there was no evidence of diastolic pressure predominantly 110 or more, or systolic pressure predominantly 200 or more during the appeal period.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's blood pressure readings did not meet the criteria for a higher rating under DC 7101.
