Denied
The Board denied a compensable disability rating for the Veteran's service-connected hypertension as the evidence did not show that the condition met the criteria for a 10% rating or higher.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's blood pressure readings consistently reflected systolic pressure below 160 and diastolic pressure below 100, which did not meet the criteria for a compensable rating under Diagnostic Code 7101.
