The Veteran was granted a 10 percent evaluation for coronary artery disease status post myocardial infarction prior to June 19, 2008, and a 30 percent evaluation from that date.
The deciding factor: The workload of the Veteran's condition met the criteria for a 10 percent rating but not higher during the period in question due to his METs being greater than 7 but not more than 10. From June 19, 2008, the evidence supported a 30 percent evaluation.
