Granted
The Board granted service connection for hypertension, finding it as likely as not attributable to a service-connected disability.
The deciding factor: The VA examiner opined that the Veteran's hypertension is at least as likely as not incurred in or caused by abnormal readings during service due to stress and high blood pressure triggers from an in-service incident.
