The veteran contends that his service-connected Wolf-Parkinson-White syndrome has worsened and is more disabling than the current 30 percent rating. The Board requested additional development to determine if all symptoms are related to the service-connected condition.
The deciding factor: The Board found it necessary to request further examination and evidence to differentiate between the veteran's service-connected WPW syndrome and any non-service-connected conditions.
