Denied
The Board denied a compensable rating for hypertension and an earlier effective date prior to June 10, 2015 for the grant of service connection for coronary artery disease.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not show that the Veteran's hypertension warranted a higher evaluation or that there was any basis for an earlier effective date for his CAD.
