Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claim for an initial rating in excess of 10 percent for hypertension as the evidence did not show diastolic pressure predominantly 110 or more, or systolic pressure predominantly 200 or more during the appeal period.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's blood pressure readings did not meet the criteria for a higher rating under DC 7101.
