Denied
The Board denied a compensable disability rating for hypertension as there was no evidence of diastolic pressure predominantly 100 or more or systolic pressure predominantly 160 or more.
The deciding factor: The lack of sufficient blood pressure readings to meet the criteria for a compensable rating under Diagnostic Code 7101 led to the denial of the claim.
