1,202 vetted Board decisions in 2010.
The Veteran's claims for increased ratings for heart disease, type 2 diabetes mellitus, and peripheral neuropathy were denied. The Board found that the criteria for higher ratings had not been met during the relevant periods.
The Board has determined that the Veteran was on inactive duty with the Oregon ANG during the relevant time period for his claimed heart attack, and thus he did not have active service or INACDUTRA at the time of his myocardial infarction. As a result, the claim for service connection for CAD status post-myocardial infarction is denied.
