Denied
The Board denied the veteran's claims for an earlier effective date and a compensable rating for hypertension, as the evidence did not support these requests.
The deciding factor: The evidence of record does not show diastolic pressure of predominantly 100 or more, or systolic pressure of predominately 160 or more; or as a minimum rating for an individual with a history of diastolic pressure of predominantly 100 or more who requires continuous medication for control.
