Denied
The Board denied an initial compensable rating for hypertension as the Veteran's blood pressure readings did not meet the criteria for a compensable evaluation.
The deciding factor: The evidence of record, including VA examinations and treatment records, did not show diastolic pressure predominantly 100 or more, nor systolic pressure predominantly 160 or more throughout the appeal period.
