Denied
The Board denied an initial compensable rating for hypertension as the Veteran's blood pressure readings did not meet the criteria for a compensable disability rating.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's blood pressure readings were predominantly below 100 diastolic and 160 systolic, which did not meet the criteria for a compensable disability rating under DC 7101.
