4,103 vetted Board decisions in 2018.
The Veteran's service-connected ischemic heart disease (CAD) has been rated at 60 percent since August 13, 2010. The Board found that the evidence did not meet the criteria for a higher rating due to chronic congestive heart failure or left ventricular dysfunction with an ejection fraction of less than 30 percent.
The Board found that the Veteran's heart disability was not incurred in service and is not related to his service-connected asbestosis. The claim for secondary service connection was also denied.
The Board found that the Veteran's ischemic heart disease is not service connected, as there was no evidence of herbicide exposure during service and the condition did not manifest within one year of service.
