Denied
The Board denied a compensable rating for the Veteran's service-connected hypertension as the evidence did not show that it met the criteria for a compensable rating during the period on appeal.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's blood pressure readings did not meet the criteria for a compensable rating under DC 7101, and there was no evidence of historically predominantly diastolic pressure of 100 or more or systolic pressure of 160 or more.
