Denied
The Board denied the veteran's claims for an earlier effective date, a compensable rating, and TDIU for hypertension.
The deciding factor: There is no evidence or document in the claims file received by VA prior to March 25, 2010, which can reasonably be construed as a service connection claim for hypertension. The Veteran's blood pressure readings did not meet the criteria for a compensable rating during the appeal period.
