Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claim for an initial compensable evaluation for service-connected hypertension as the evidence did not support a finding that his condition met the criteria for a compensable rating.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's blood pressure readings and medication use did not meet the criteria for a compensable evaluation under Diagnostic Code 7101.
