Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claim for an initial compensable rating for hypertension, finding that the evidence did not support a history of diastolic pressure predominantly 100 or more or current systolic pressures of predominantly 160 or more.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not show a history of diastolic pressure predominantly 100 or more, nor current diastolic pressures of predominantly 100 or more, and the Veteran's blood pressure readings were within normal ranges.
