Denied
The Board denied the veteran's claim for a higher disability rating for service-connected hypertension because the evidence did not show predominantly high blood pressure readings.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the lack of evidence showing diastolic pressure predominantly 100 or more or systolic pressure predominantly 160 or more.
