The Board denied a compensable evaluation for hypertension and remanded the claim for service connection for chronic renal failure as secondary to service-connected hypertension due to missing medical evidence.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not show that the Veteran's hypertension manifested by diastolic pressure predominantly 100 or more, systolic pressure predominantly 160 or more, or a history of diastolic pressure predominantly 100 or more and requiring continuous medication for control. The claim for chronic renal failure as secondary to service-connected hypertension was remanded due to missing medical evidence.
