Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's appeal for a higher rating than 10 percent for hypertension, as the evidence did not show symptoms more nearly approximating diastolic pressure predominantly 110 or more, or systolic pressure 200 or more.
The deciding factor: The blood pressure readings and use of medication did not meet the criteria for a higher rating under Diagnostic Code 7101.
