The Board denied service connection for hypertension, while remanding the claims for erectile dysfunction and a headache disorder.
The deciding factor: There was no evidence of record showing that the Veteran had a current diagnosis of hypertension. The Veteran's claim for ED is being remanded to allow for further development, including a VA examination. Similarly, the claim for a headache disorder is also being remanded due to an incomplete medical evaluation and lay statements.
