Denied
The Board denied the veteran's claims for service connection for hypertension and a heart disability, finding no evidence of chronic in-service symptoms or that these conditions were related to his military service.
The deciding factor: The persuasive evidence did not support a finding that the Veteran's hypertension or heart disability was shown as chronic in service, manifested within one year after separation, or otherwise etiologically related to an in-service injury or disease.
