Denied
The Board denied service connection for hypertension as the evidence did not support a finding that it had its onset during active service or within a year of separation, nor was there any other basis to link it to service.
The deciding factor: The persuasive evidence of record is against a finding that the Veteran's claimed hypertension had its onset during active service or within a year of separation or is otherwise the result of service, including as due to Gulf War environmental exposures.
