Rate this question
Question
OEF 21B
Finally got a response from my NOD that I sent in on 21 November 2010. I'm working on preparing my NOD for the SOC and would like some feedback on the format before I finish my other contentions.
Thanks in advance!!

VA FORM-21-0958, Part III – SPECIFIC ISSUES OF DISAGREEMENT, 11A.
1. Hypertension continue 0% Rating. I disagree with the continuation of my service-connected 0 % rating for hypertension and request a higher rating of 10%-20% for hypertension be granted.
a. References:
b. (SOC) Reason and Basis:
Evaluation of hypertension currently evaluated as 0 percent disabling. The reason and basis for denial was “no objective medical evidence confirming that your diastolic pressure was predominantly 100 or more or that your systolic pressure was predominantly 160 or more at any time during your military service. “ The SOC does reference my submitted blood pressure readings with a 3-day average of 180.55/110.34 in July 2008. The SOC also referenced Blood Pressure (BP) readings taken at the VA in 2011 – 2013 that did not meet the threshold as stated previously.
