Denied
The Board denied service connection for hypertension as it was not shown in service, not shown to a compensable degree within one year of service, and is not causally or etiologically related to service.
The deciding factor: The evidence does not support direct service connection for hypertension due to the lack of in-service symptoms, diagnosis, or continuity of symptomatology, nor does it support presumptive service connection under any applicable law or regulation.
