Denied
The Board denied service connection for hypertension as there is no evidence that the Veteran's hypertension was incurred in or aggravated by active service, became manifest to a compensable degree within one year following her separation from active duty, or is related to toxic exposure risk activity.
The deciding factor: The Board determined that the Veteran's hypertension did not have its onset during service or within one year of her separation and there was no evidence linking it to any toxic exposure or other in-service event.
