Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claim for an initial compensable evaluation for hypertension, as there was no evidence showing diastolic pressure predominately 100 or more or systolic pressure predominantly 160 or more during the appeal period.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not show that the Veteran had a history of diastolic pressure predominately 100 or more, nor that his diastolic pressure was predominately 100 or more or his systolic pressure was predominantly 160 or more during the appeal period.
