Entitlement to service connection for hypertension is denied.

Board reasoning

The Board found no current VA-diagnosed hypertension, supported by a March 2026 examination and treatment records, so service connection cannot be established absent a current disability. For erectile dysfunction, the Board remands to obtain an adequate medical opinion addressing direct service connection and secondary to ischemic heart disease; the March 2026 opinion was deemed inadequate for failing to consider the ischemic heart disease as an aggravating factor. The Board cites standards requiring a current disability for hypertension and proper medical nexus analysis for erectile dysfunction, and notes the need to correct pre-decisional duty-to-assist errors via remand.
