Denied
The Board denied the veteran's claim for a higher rating for service-connected hypertension because the evidence did not show that his blood pressure met the criteria for a compensable rating.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's blood pressure readings and lack of continuous medication for hypertension did not meet the required criteria for a compensable rating.
