Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claim for an initial compensable disability rating for hypertension as there was no evidence of diastolic pressure predominantly 100 or more, systolic pressure predominantly 160 or more, or a history of diastolic pressure predominantly 100 or more requiring continuous medication for control.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the Veteran's blood pressure readings did not meet the criteria for a compensable rating under DC 7101.
