Denied
The Board denied a compensable rating for hypertension as the evidence did not show diastolic pressure predominantly 100 or more, systolic pressure predominantly 160 or more, or a history of diastolic pressure predominantly 100 or more requiring continuous medication for control.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's blood pressure readings and medical records did not meet the criteria for a compensable rating under Diagnostic Code 7101.
