The Board denied service connection for hypertension and headaches as the evidence did not support a finding that these conditions were incurred in or aggravated by active military service.
The deciding factor: The most probative evidence of record persuasively weighed against a finding that the Veteran's hypertension condition had its onset during military service, was manifested to a compensable degree within one year of separation from active duty, or was otherwise etiologically related to service. Similarly, there was no current diagnosis of headaches and no evidence of functional impairment due to such a condition.
