Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claims for a rating in excess of 10 percent and a compensable rating for hypertension, as well as service connection for thrombosis to include a right leg blood clot on a secondary basis.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not demonstrate that the Veteran's hypertension more nearly approximated the criteria for a compensable rating under DC 7101. The Board also found insufficient evidence to establish a causal relationship between the Veteran's service-connected hypertension and his thrombosis.
