Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claim for a compensable disability rating for hypertension as there were no blood pressure readings showing diastolic pressure predominantly 100 or more, systolic pressure predominantly 160 or more, or a history of diastolic pressure predominantly 100 or more controlled by medication.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not show that the Veteran's hypertension met the criteria for a compensable rating during the appeal period.
