Denied
The Board denied service connection for hypertension as there is no evidence of a current disability and the Veteran's assertions do not establish the presence of characteristic manifestations during service or shortly thereafter.
The deciding factor: The most probative evidence of record does not support the finding that the Veteran has had hypertension at any time during or approximate to the pendency of the claim, and there is no medical diagnosis of hypertension.
