The Board denied service connection for an eye condition, an earlier effective date for hypertension, and a compensable initial rating for hypertension. The back condition was remanded.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support the presence of a current disability for the eye condition or the existence of a diastolic pressure predominantly 100 or more, systolic pressure predominantly 160 or more, or a history of such pressures with continuous medication for hypertension. The back condition was remanded for further development.
