- Granted
The Board has determined that the Veteran is entitled to a 100 percent disability evaluation for his service-connected vasodepressor response with syncope, as it results in dyspnea, fatigue, dizziness or syncope when the workload is less than 3 METs.
- Remanded (sent back)
The case is remanded for additional development, including a new VA examination to evaluate the severity of the Veteran's vasodepressor response with syncope.
- Denied
The Board denied the veteran's claims for increased ratings for his service-connected lumbar myositis, psychoneurosis and conversion hysteria, residuals of shrapnel wounds of the left thigh and pelvis with retained foreign bodies and scars, and residuals of shell fragment wounds of the right thigh and left leg. The veteran was also denied entitlement to a total disability rating based on individual unemployability due to service-connected disabilities.
- Denied
The Board denied the Veteran's claim for an initial evaluation in excess of 10 percent for his service-connected coronary artery disease, finding that the evidence did not support a higher rating based on the severity of his condition.
