Denied
The Board denied a compensable rating for hypertension as the Veteran's diastolic pressure has not been predominantly 100 or more, and systolic pressure has not been predominantly 160 or more.
The deciding factor: The evidence does not show that the Veteran's diastolic blood pressure was predominantly 100 or more or that his systolic blood pressure was predominantly 160 or more during the review period.
