Denied
The Board denied the veteran's claim for service connection for hypertension due to a lack of evidence showing he has the condition and no good cause was provided for failing to attend a scheduled VA examination.
The deciding factor: The Veteran failed to appear for a scheduled VA examination without providing good cause, and there is no evidence of a current disability related to hypertension.
