The Board has restored the veteran's 30 percent rating for supraventricular tachycardia, which had been reduced to noncompensable by the RO. The decision was based on a single examination that did not clearly show sustained improvement in the condition.
The deciding factor: The reduction of the veteran's disability rating from 30 percent to zero percent was not warranted by a preponderance of the evidence, and the requirements for restoration have been met.
