Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's appeal for an initial rating in excess of 10 percent for hypertension, as there was no evidence showing diastolic pressure predominantly 110 or more, or systolic pressure predominantly 200 or more.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not show that the Veteran's hypertension met the criteria for a higher rating under the General Rating Formula for Diseases of the Heart.
