Denied
The Board denied the claims for a compensable rating for pseudofolliculitis barbae and service connection for hypertension, finding that the evidence did not support these claims.
The deciding factor: The evidence was persuasively against finding that the Veteran's conditions met the criteria for a higher rating or were related to service.
