Denied
The Board denied the veteran's claims for a compensable rating for hypertension and service connection for various conditions, including amputations of toes, sleep apnea, migraines, sleep disturbances, and chronic fatigue syndrome.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not support a finding that the Veteran's hypertension manifested in diastolic pressure predominantly 100 or more, or systolic pressure predominantly 160 or more. The claims for service connection were dismissed due to an improper concurrent election or claims processing errors.
