Denied
The Board denied service connection for hypertension and a compensable rating for chronic epididymitis, finding no evidence of these conditions during or shortly after the Veteran's active duty service.
The deciding factor: The VA examiner opined that there was no evidence to support a causal relationship between the Veteran's current hypertension and his military service, nor any evidence of a urinary tract infection requiring suppressive drug therapy for chronic epididymitis.
