Denied
The Board denied service connection for hypertension, finding no evidence of the condition during service or within one year after discharge and no link to service-connected PTSD.
The deciding factor: The most probative evidence did not demonstrate that hypertension was incurred in service, manifested within the applicable presumptive period, or was otherwise etiologically related to service or caused by the service-connected PTSD.
