Denied
The Board denied service connection for hypertension as the condition did not manifest during service or within one year of separation, was not incurred in service, and is not attributable to a disease, injury, or event of service.
The deciding factor: The evidence does not support a finding that the Veteran's hypertension is related to his military service due to lack of in-service diagnosis and no competent opinion linking it to service.
